SkyJacks highlights the shift from ownership to access with expanded equipment solutions at Electra Mining 2026
A leading provider of powered
access, material handling and lifting equipment across South Africa and the
broader SADC region, SkyJacks will showcase its expanded portfolio at the
Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec. Alongside its established range of globally
recognised OEM brands, including Dingli, Faresin, Jekko, GEDA, ALR and
SkyClimber Access Innovations, the company will introduce two new additions to
its offering: Hyundai Forklifts and MACH industrial cleaning solutions.
The expanded portfolio reinforces
SkyJacks’ position as a comprehensive equipment partner, providing solutions
that support safety, productivity and efficiency across mining, construction,
industrial maintenance and logistics environments.
Moving beyond ownership with
flexible equipment access
“Businesses today need flexibility
as much as they need reliable equipment,” says Darryn Jacobs, Managing Director
at SkyJacks. “While purchasing remains the right option for many organisations,
rental provides an alternative approach that allows companies to access the
equipment they need without being locked into assets that may no longer align
with changing operational requirements.”
Jacobs explains that rental
provides businesses with the ability to adapt as project scopes change.
“A company may start a project
requiring a 20-metre access machine but later discover that it needs equipment
capable of reaching 40 metres. With rental, they can return the existing
machine and transition to a solution that better meets their requirements. When
equipment is purchased outright, businesses can find themselves committed to an
asset that may no longer provide the right capability, creating unnecessary
costs and limiting flexibility.”
Beyond providing access to
specialised equipment, SkyJacks’ rental solutions also help customers manage
the ongoing costs associated with ownership. Maintenance, servicing and
equipment support are included as part of the rental offering, allowing
businesses to focus on operations rather than managing additional asset-related
expenses.
“Customers are looking for
predictable costs and reliable uptime. With rental, they have access to
professionally maintained equipment without the additional burden of
maintenance, repairs and replacement costs. This allows them to focus on
productivity while knowing their equipment is supported throughout its
lifecycle.”
