Last updated: October 2026

The Skyjack SJ6832 RT is a 69.5 in wide rough terrain scissor lift with a 32 ft platform height (38 ft working height) and a 1,000 lb capacity. It has four-wheel drive, a Kubota diesel engine and 40% gradeability, and it carries up to four people even in winds up to 28 mph, which makes it a popular choice for outdoor construction sites.

This guide covers the SJ6832 RT’s specs and features, how it compares to the Genie GS-3369 RT and JLG RT3369, what it costs new and used, and what to check before you buy one.

Specs are from Skyjack’s current North American spec page and 2026 product guide for the base machine; older units can vary slightly by production year. Skyjack also built an electric version, the SJ6832 RTE, with a 48-volt system and an operating weight of about 7,885 lb.

• Four occupants in wind: the platform is rated for four people at full height in winds up to 28 mph, where many 33 ft class rivals drop to two people outdoors.
• Four-wheel drive and 40% gradeability: foam-filled 26 x 12 in tires and 8 in of ground clearance handle gravel, mud and uneven ground.
• Drives at full height: operators can reposition at 32 ft at up to 0.4 mph.
• Large platform: a 56 x 96 in deck plus a 5 ft extension deck gives crews room for people, tools and materials.
• Compact footprint: at 107 in long, it is shorter than most 33 ft class rough terrain scissors, which helps on tight sites and trailers.
• Simple, serviceable design: Skyjack’s color-coded, numbered wiring makes electrical troubleshooting easier.
• Options: independent auto-leveling outriggers, a cold weather package, a diesel scrubber, a pipe rack and Skyjack’s ELEVATE telematics.

The SJ6832 RT’s closest rivals are the Genie GS-3369 RT and the JLG RT3369, both 69 in wide, 33 ft class rough terrain scissor lifts.

The three machines have nearly identical heights and capacities. The SJ6832 RT stands out for carrying four people outdoors and for its shorter length, while the Genie and JLG reach about 8 in higher. JLG also offers an electric version, the ERT3369. See our Genie scissor lift guide and JLG scissor lift guide for those lineups.

Skyjack’s 2026 list price for a standard SJ6832 RT is $74,640, and options such as independent auto-leveling outriggers ($13,065 list) add to that. Dealer prices are usually below list. Used units cost far less: most SJ6832 RT listings on FleetNow are 2015 to 2018 models priced around $20,000.

Used prices are FleetNow asking prices from the first 40 Skyjack SJ6832 RT listings in October 2026; typical price is the median. Most listed units show about 1,000 to 2,000 hours. The list price is from Skyjack’s 2026 price guide for the standard configuration.

What drives the price of a used SJ6832 RT:

• Year and hours: newer units with fewer hours sell for much more, and units built to the 2020 ANSI A92.20 standards have load sensing.
• Engine condition: a well-maintained Kubota diesel with service records adds value.
• Options: auto-leveling outriggers and cold weather packages raise the price.
• Tires and undercarriage: worn foam-filled tires are expensive to replace.

• Hours and service records: compare the hour meter with the service history, and ask when the engine oil, filters and hydraulic oil were last changed.
• Engine: check that the Kubota diesel starts easily, idles smoothly and doesn’t smoke heavily or leak oil or coolant.
• Four-wheel drive: drive forward and back on rough ground and up a grade, and check the drive motors, hubs and hoses for leaks.
• Lift function: raise to full height (about 39 seconds with a rated load), drive at height and make sure the platform holds without drifting down.
• Safety systems: test the tilt alarm, emergency stops, emergency lowering and, on newer units, load sensing.
• Outriggers: if equipped, make sure each one extends, levels and retracts without leaks.
• Scissor arms and platform: look for cracked welds, bent arms, worn pins and bushings, and damage to the rails, gate and extension deck.
• Tires: check the foam-filled tires for chunking, cuts and uneven wear.
• Records: ask for the annual inspection, and have a Skyjack dealer check the serial number for open safety bulletins.
