Description

The Skylift MD 6000 Digger Derrick is a purpose-built machine designed to offer exceptional lifting capacity and efficiency for demanding electric utility and construction jobs. Available in Circleville, Ohio and serving customers across the entire United States, this best-selling mini derrick enables crews to handle heavier poles and operate safely in challenging, tight access environments. Known for its reliable proportional hydraulic controls—without electric hydraulics in the main system—maintenance is streamlined for stress-free operation.

Since its introduction in 2008, the MD 6000 has earned a reputation for versatility, strength, and dependable performance. With a 6,000-lb lift capacity 8 feet from the center of rotation, 40- to 48-foot sheave height, and a compact 7-foot travel height, it’s engineered to fit through backyard gates while still delivering the power needed for utility pole installation, line work, and more. Skylift backs this equipment with full sales, service, and parts support. Aerial equipment is available for rental only. Contact us for more details or to request a quote.
