TESTIMONIALS

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SKYLIFT

Read testimonials from customers and learn what sets Skylift apart.
Thomas Sinon Energy Fleet Supervisor

"Entergy Corporation has used Skylift equipment since 2010. We have had an excellent response from the end users in the field who compliment Skylift equipment's reliability and usability. Maintenance on the equipment is minimal, which reduces business downtime and ensures we can provide electricity to our 3 million utility customers across 4 states. Most importantly, the customer service and tech support we receive are top-notch! I can't recommend Skylift enough."

Jason Swoveland Townsend Tree

"Skylift goes above and beyond on customer service. On 4:30 PM Super Bowl Sunday last year, I was alerted that we needed a machine repaired due to a machinist error in the field. I called my Skylift rep and they were able to connect me with a facility close by that could fix the machine and have it ready for work the next morning!"

Guy Greszler Oberlin Distribution Superintendent

“About 10% of our system is typically inaccessible by truck. Before Skylift our personnel had to climb to work on poles old-school, which slowed our workflow and has more potential for risk. The ML53 not only provided a safer option for our workers but also enhanced productivity significantly. Additionally, the machine is durable and user-friendly, making it equipment that our personnel wants to use.”

John Nealy Blue Ridge Co-Op Fleet Manager
"The Skylift team's patience and expertise have greatly prepared our maintenance technicians to meet the challenges with the Patriot machine. We are more confident and ready to tackle our projects, and the overall experience of working with Skylift has been fantastic. We look forward to continuing our partnership."
Kurt Melchert Menasha Utilities Electric Manager
"The Skylift MD 6000 backyard easement machine is unreal. I've never used an easement machine that's so impressive."
