Snorkel to Launch New Booms and Scissorlifts at The Rental Show

Snorkel International, a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms, will launch a raft of new core products unifying the UpRight and Snorkel range at The Rental Show in February 2010.

The company will unveil the SX series, a new family of electric slab scissors that will replace both the current Snorkel S series slab scissors and the UpRight MX and X series. The new 19-foot, 26-foot and 32-foot scissors combine the best attributes of the existing Snorkel and UpRight slab scissor ranges.

Snorkel will also showcase the SB46JRT, a 46-foot straight stick boomlift with a jib, at The Rental Show. It is the first in a new series of boomlifts on a common chassis.

“Our design engineers have been quietly working for months on some significant enhancements to our core product range,” said George Fitchett, vice president sales for Snorkel International. “These new machines all stay true to the values of Snorkel; effective, robust, cost-competitive aerial lifts that are easy to use and easy to maintain.”

At the show, the company will also launch the Speed Level Plus, an enhanced version of the Speed Level series of no-stabiliser, rough-terrain lifts.

“Our design engineers have completely revised the machine to make it even stronger, more powerful and much more practical,” said Fitchett. “We have enhanced every facet of the machine’s performance where it counts the most. The Speed Level Plus delivers faster ground and lift speeds, can handle steeper gradients, has improved ground clearance, is lighter and can lift more weight.”

Snorkel is headquartered in Elwood, Kan. It can be found at Booth No. 5317 in the Heavy Construction area of The Rental Show.
