XStep for Micro Scissor Line
From Skyjack
Designed for the SJ3213 micro and the SJ3219 micro, the micro XStep enables operators to gain additional work height in tight spaces while maximizing productivity. Like the original XStep, the micro XStep was introduced to empower operators working in hard-to-reach places such as piping, ceiling work and between HVAC units. The micro XStep is part of the Skyjack ACCESSORYZERS line.
The micro XStep is mounted on the mid-rail of the scissor lift and creates an additional 19 in. of working height. The top railing design and height provide operators with the same degree of security as a conventional platform with a 250-lb. capacity.
