Looking for a Skyjack SJIII4740? You’re in the right place.
The SJIII4740 is one of the most reliable 40 ft electric scissor lifts ever made. We service and refurbish them in our shop in Addison, IL — 25 minutes outside of Chicago — and ship them anywhere in the continental U.S. in an enclosed trailer.
We sell the Skyjack SJIII4740 at two price tiers so you can pick what fits your job and your budget. Fully Serviced starts at $13,000 — tested components, fresh ANSI/OSHA inspection, optional new parts à la carte. Fully Refurbished starts at $15,800 — new batteries, new tires, new charger, rebuilt control box, full hydraulic inspection, and a complete sand-down + repaint to factory-fresh.
Either way: shipped nationwide in an enclosed trailer.
Call 773-790-7299 for current units, lead time, and freight to your zip code.

Two ways to buy: Fully Serviced or Fully Refurbished
Most refurb dealers sell one product. We sell two — because not every buyer needs the same thing, and every job has a different budget.
Fully Serviced — starts at $13,000
- Tested components — drive, hydraulic, electrical, control system all functionally tested
- New annual ANSI/OSHA inspection — A92.20-2018 / OSHA 29 CFR 1926.453 documented and current
- Optional new parts à la carte — want fresh batteries but not a full repaint? Want new tires but not the rebuilt control box? Spec the unit to your budget. We’ll quote.
The Fully Serviced tier is the path that competes with auction-site used (IronPlanet, GovPlanet, Ritchie Bros). The difference: you can come see the lift in our Addison, IL shop — and we can add new parts at your direction. None of the auction sites can do either.
Fully Refurbished — starts at $15,800
Everything in Fully Serviced, plus:
- New batteries. Fresh 24V flooded lead-acid pack, properly watered and load-tested.
- New tires. Non-marking compound, indoor-grade.
- New charger. Tested through a full charge cycle.
- Rebuilt control box. Joystick, function switches, e-stops on platform and ground — all replaced where needed.
- Hydraulic system inspected every time. Fluid tested and replaced only if outside spec.
- Paint — done to order. Sanded down to bare metal, primed, repainted to factory-fresh, decals + ANSI markings replaced. Major separator vs other refurb dealers.
The Fully Refurbished tier is the premium path — half the cost of new with most of the reliability of new. What we built our reputation on.

Skyjack SJIII4740 vs Genie GS4047
The Genie GS4047 is the closest equivalent. Same 40 ft platform class. Pick by brand and inventory.
| Skyjack SJIII4740 | Genie GS4047 | |
|---|---|---|
| Working height | 46 ft | similar |
| Platform width | 46″ | similar |
| Deck extension | 3 ft | similar |
| Drive | Electric, 24V DC | Electric, 24V DC |
| Stowed weight | ~7,100 lb | similar |
| Refurbished price | starts at $15,800 | varies — call us |
We sell both. We service both. If you want a real side-by-side, read our buyer’s guide or just call us.
When to buy a SJIII4740 (vs. just renting one)
If you’ll use a 40 ft lift more than 90 days a year, buying probably wins.
A 40 ft class lift rents for around $275/day at our Chicagoland yard. Run that math against the refurb purchase price — somewhere in the 60–90 day mark, owning starts to crush rental on total cost.
Buying makes sense for:
- Facility teams running a lift year-round
- Multi-site contractors with steady 40 ft work
- Distribution centers and warehouses that need a lift on standby
Renting still wins for:
- Single short jobs
- Heights you’re not sure about yet
- Outdoor rough-terrain jobs (we don’t sell those — we’ll point you to a partner)
Financing
Refurbished SJIII4740 deals usually land in the $200–$400 / month range on 48-month terms, depending on the unit and credit. Call us for a no-pressure conversation.
How we ship
We ship nationwide via 3rd-party carriers in enclosed trailers. Same trusted carriers we’ve used for 30+ years. We quote freight upfront — no surprise charges at the dock.
Pickup is free for any buyer who comes to our Addison, IL yard. Doesn’t matter where you’re driving from — pickup is on us.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SJIII4740 still in production?
The SJIII series has been succeeded in current Skyjack production by the SJ4740 E. The legacy SJIII4740s we refurbish are reliable 40 ft platforms with widely available parts.
How much does a refurbished SJIII4740 weigh?
About 7,100 lb stowed. Floor-load matters for upper-floor work — measure your deck rating before you buy.
What’s the difference between Fully Serviced and Fully Refurbished?
Fully Serviced (starts at $13,000) gets you a tested, inspected lift with the option to spec new parts à la carte. Fully Refurbished (starts at $15,800) gets you new batteries, tires, charger, rebuilt control box, full hydraulic inspection, and a complete repaint — comprehensive, factory-fresh.
What batteries does it use?
A 24V DC battery pack, typically 4× 6V flooded lead-acid in series. Fresh batteries are included on every Fully Refurbished unit and available à la carte on Fully Serviced.
Will it fit through a standard 8 ft door?
Stowed height varies by year. Most commercial roll-up doors clear it; some narrower service doors don’t. Measure your door before you commit — or ask us.
What’s the warranty?
We back our refurbishment work with a service guarantee on the rebuilt components. Specifics depend on the unit and tier. Ask us about the one you’re considering.
Can I see the unit before I buy?
Yes. We send same-day video walk-arounds. If you’re in Chicagoland (or driving in from anywhere), you can come visit our shop in Addison and walk the yard.
How long until you can deliver?
1–2 weeks for ready-to-ship. 3 weeks from the time of payment as a baseline for Fully Refurbished work. Real numbers, not best-case fairy tales.
What’s included in the price?
The lift, all the work in your chosen tier, the inspection certificate, and the operator manual. Freight is quoted separately by zip code.
