SkyJack SJ6826 RT Rough Terrain Scissor Lift Rental — State College, PA

Most scissor lifts want a flat, finished floor. The job site rarely cooperates. The SkyJack SJ6826 RT is the rough terrain scissor lift you reach for when the ground is dirt, gravel, mud, or grade — and it’s in the Flex Equipment Rental fleet now. Crossover symmetrical four-wheel drive puts torque to all four wheels, and 45% gradeability means it climbs slopes that strand an indoor unit. You get 26 ft of platform height (32 ft of working height), a 1,250 lb platform that holds a crew plus material, and the ability to drive at full height with the extension deck rolled out — so you reposition along a wall without lowering and re-leveling every few feet. Foam-filled tires don’t go flat on rebar or rock, and a 110V outlet keeps tools running up top. We service every unit before it leaves the yard. Tell us your terrain and your reach, and we’ll confirm the SJ6826 RT is the right lift for the job.

Rough Terrain 4WD — Built for Outdoor Jobs

The SJ6826 RT is an outdoor scissor lift rental designed for the conditions a smooth-floor machine can’t survive. SkyJack’s crossover symmetrical 4WD drives all four wheels with maximum torque, and the lift handles grades up to 45% gradeability — the headline number on SkyJack’s rough-terrain line. Pair that with 8 in of ground clearance and foam-filled grip-lug tires, and you have a 4WD scissor lift that crosses gravel, packed dirt, soft sod, and uneven fill without bogging down. If your crew is working an active construction site around State College, this is the lift that earns its keep.

Drive at Full Height — Reposition Without Coming Down

One of the SJ6826 RT’s standout features is that it’s drivable at full height, including with the roll-out deck fully extended, at a controlled 0.4 mph. On a long wall or a row of bays, that means you raise once, then creep the machine along at elevation instead of lowering, driving, re-leveling, and raising again at every station. It’s a real time-saver on repetitive overhead work, and it’s exactly the kind of capability that separates a purpose-built rough-terrain unit from a basic slab scissor.

1,250 lb Capacity — Diesel Power, Foam-Filled Tires, 110V On Board

Total platform capacity is 1,250 lb — up to 950 lb on the main deck and up to 300 lb on the extension. That’s enough for a four-person crew within rating, or two workers plus a respectable load of material. The standard engine is a 24.8 HP Kubota diesel. Foam-filled low-profile grip-lug tires are standard, so a flat doesn’t end your day on rough ground. And a 110V AC outlet with GFI is built into the platform, so corded tools run where the work is.

Flex Equipment Rental started as lawn-care guys, so we know central PA ground and what a contractor actually needs on site. Every machine we rent — the SkyJack SJ6826 RT included — is inspected and serviced by our own techs before it leaves the yard.


The SJ6826 RT is a purpose-built rough-terrain machine that shows up ready for the outdoor jobs a smooth-floor scissor can’t handle. If it’s the right machine for your job, we’ll set it up and get it to you. And if the job calls for something different, we’ll tell you that too.
