In this review, I'm going to show you the main features and Pros & Cons of SJIII 3219, comparing it with its competitors from the same class, GS1930 from Genie and 1930ES from JLG.

Main Dimensions


Main DimensionsUsMetric
Work Height25 ft7.62 m
Raised Platform Height19 ft5.79 m
Lowered Platform Height39 in0.99 m
Overall Width32 in0.81 m
Overall Length70 in1.78 m
Stowed Height (Rails Up)7.85 in1.99 m
Stowed Height (Rails Up)64.5 in1.64 m

SJIII 3219 can make you reach working heights up to 25ft (7.62m) easily, with relatively small dimensions, it can go through doorways, gives you access to tight spaces and easy close to walls operation for indoor and outdoor high working applications.

When it comes to working height, Skyjack SJIII 3219 is not the best but not the worst, with 6.6in (0.16m) lower than GS1930 from Genie and 3.12in (0.08m) higher than 1930ES from JLG.

Extension Deck3 ft0.91 m

Extension Deck

One of the most important features of the scissor lifts is the large platform compared to other lifts like boom lifts, plus the possibility to use Extension Deck to increase the length of the platform.

The total length of the platform of SJIII 3219 with the extension deck rolled out is 100in (2.54m) as same as GS1930 from Genie.

1930ES from JLG beats SJIII 3219 and GS1930 with 109in (2.77m) total length of the platform.

Sliding the Extension Deck

Sliding the extension deck is one of the cons of SJIII 3219. While working at a height of 25ft in the air, you have to remove a number of pins before pushing the rails to slide the deck out, then you have to put it back in the right holes.

On the other side, GS1930 has a foot activated extension deck, press the foot pedal and push the rails, while 1930ES from JLG has two handles, just catch and push, both are easy and quick. Skyjack isn't the best at this point.

Capacity and Number of Persons 

As same as his competitors, SJIII 3219 has two persons as a maximum number which could be carried, sure it can carry more than 2 persons but the instructions should be followed for your safety in the first place.

For capacity, SJIII 3219 can carry and lift 550 lbs (249 kg) for the main platform, and 300 lbs (136 kg) when the extension deck is rolled out. 

Fifty lbs more than GS1930 and 1930ES with 500 lbs (227 kg) for the main platform, and 250 lbs (113 kg) when the extension deck is rolled out.

AC Outlet

Skyjack 3219 has an AC outlet in the platform which provides an easy access power source for tools that require electricity, to reduce the number of cords. It is definitely one of the pros of this product.

Controlling System

Has it ever happened to you that your day is wasted because of a ridiculous matter, like uncharged phone, forgetting where you put your keys or you can't operate an electric scissor lift?
Well, it happened to me.

Skyjack products are distinguished from other competitive electric scissor lifts of the same class by having The Master Disconnect Switch. The main goal of The Master Disconnect Switch is to be blocked to prevent unauthorized use, which I knew nothing about.

Such as any other electric scissor lift, SJIII 3219 has a base and platform controlling system, but the best feature in SJIII 3219 is the simplicity of the controlling system, especially the platform control console.

It's so simple that makes me literally comfortable, unlike some other brands, which made a lot of users (buyers or tenants) prefer to skyjack scissor lift, including me when I decided to create How to Operate Electric Scissor Lift Step by Step.

And of course, we can't forget about the Emergency Controls. In the case of a power loss, the platform could be manually lowered by turning the Override Knob and then pulling the Valve on the side of the base.

Skyjack SJIII 3219 electric scissor lift is "simply reliable" especially when it comes to the controlling system.
