Skyjack SJ4632 Review: Specs, Price and Buying Guide

Last updated: November 2026

The Skyjack SJ4632 (also sold as the SJIII 4632) is a 32 ft electric slab scissor lift with a 38 ft working height, a 46 in wide chassis and room for two people. It is one of the most common 32 ft scissors in rental fleets, and FleetNow had about 178 listed in November 2026. Skyjack has since replaced it with the SJ4732 E.

This guide covers the SJ4632 specs, a review from an OHR Rents mechanic, how it compares with the Genie GS-3246 and JLG 3246ES, what used units sell for and what to check before you buy.

The SJ4632 belongs to Skyjack’s DC electric slab scissor family. The “46” is the 46 in chassis width and the “32” is the 32 ft platform height. It is built for smooth, level surfaces such as concrete slabs, warehouses and finished interiors.

• Platform height: 32 ft (38 ft working height)
• Capacity: 700 lb total, with up to 450 lb on the main platform and 250 lb on the extension deck
• Occupants: 2
• Width: 46 in
• Weight: about 5,075 lb
• Power: 24 V DC electric drive with solid non-marking tires

Skyjack’s current version is the SJ4732 E, which keeps the 32 ft platform height and 700 lb capacity on a 47 in wide chassis.

The table compares the SJ4632 (SJIII 4632) with the current Skyjack SJ4732 E.

SJ4632 figures come from Skyjack-based spec listings and rental fleet data, and the SJ4732 E figures come from Skyjack’s current spec page. Specs vary by production year, market (ANSI or CE) and options, and many 32 ft electric slab scissors are rated for indoor use only. Check the decals and serial plate on the machine for its capacity, occupancy and indoor or outdoor rating.

Michael K. is a mechanic with OHR Rents in Cleveland, Ohio, who specializes in the electrical systems of electric scissor lifts. He rated the SJ4632 on five points:

Michael calls the SJ4632 a “super easy machine to maintain” and notes that it is “not very heavy” for its size while still giving a stable, wide footprint. On performance he says, “They’re great machines. They’re good on grade and handle tilts exceptionally well.” Skyjack’s color-coded and numbered wiring (Skycoded) is one reason the machine is easy to troubleshoot.

Watch Michael’s full review:

• 32 ft platform with a 4 ft roll-out deck: an 84 x 42 in platform gives two workers room for tools and materials.
• Drive at height: the lift can be driven with the platform raised at a reduced speed of 0.6 mph.
• Simple DC electric drive: a 24 V system with no emissions and low noise for indoor work.
• Skycoded controls: color-coded, numbered wiring that makes troubleshooting and repair easier.
• Non-marking solid tires: safe for finished floors and no flats.
• Safety systems: tilt alarm, pothole protection when raised and a manual emergency lowering valve.
• 46 in width: the standard width for 32 ft slab scissors. It fits through most double doors and freight elevators, but not a single 36 in door.

The Genie GS-3246 and JLG 3246ES are the SJ4632’s direct competitors. All three are 46 in wide, 32 ft electric slab scissors with at least 700 lb of capacity (the JLG carries 1,000 lb indoors), so the choice usually comes down to price, condition and which brand your shop already services.

JLG 3246ES figures are from JLG dealer spec data; JLG now sells this size as the ES3246. Prices are the middle half of FleetNow asking prices in October and November 2026.

In November 2026, 159 priced SJ4632 listings on FleetNow ranged from $5,200 to $29,000. The middle half were listed between $6,600 and $10,100, and the median was about $8,400. The median listing showed about 360 hours.

The highest asking prices are outliers, so compare hours, battery condition and service history before paying above the typical range. For comparison, used SJ4732 E units were mostly listed at $16,500 to $20,500 in October 2026, and dealers advertised new SJ4732 E units for about $24,000 to $25,950.

• Electrical, lighting and low-voltage installation
• HVAC, plumbing and fire sprinkler work on high ceilings
• Drywall, ceiling grid, insulation and painting
• Warehouse and distribution center maintenance
• Retail store fit-outs, signage and displays
• Event, stage and trade show setup
• Facility maintenance and commercial cleaning

• Large platform with a 4 ft extension and room for two people
• Simple, easy-to-service DC electric system with Skycoded wiring
• Good gradeability and stability for its size, according to our mechanic
• Large used supply keeps prices competitive
• Quiet, zero-emission operation and non-marking tires

• 46 in width will not fit through single doorways
• Slab tires and low ground clearance are meant for smooth, level surfaces
• About 5,075 lb, so check floor and elevator load limits
• Older units may be rated for indoor use only
• Replaced by the SJ4732 E, so the newest used units are now several years old

• Read the serial plate and decals for the model year, capacity, occupancy and indoor or outdoor rating.
• Check the hour meter and ask for the maintenance and annual inspection records.
• Inspect the batteries for water level, corrosion and cracked cases. Charge fully and confirm the charger works.
• Raise to full height and lower. The scissor stack should move smoothly with no shaking, noise or drifting down.
• Look over the scissor arms, pins and bushings for cracks, bends, welds or excessive play.
• Check the lift cylinder and hoses for leaks.
• Drive forward, back and in full turns, stowed and raised, and test the brakes on a slight grade.
• Test the tilt alarm, pothole protection, emergency stop and emergency lowering.
• Check the guardrails, gate and extension deck. The deck should roll out and lock.
• Inspect the tires for chunks, flat spots or separation, and check the control box and joystick.
