Snorkel Introduces New Boomlift at U.K. Show This Week
Snorkel’s new A62JRT articulated boomlift is making its U.K. debut this week at Vertikal Days 2012 at the Haydock Park race course June 27 and 28 in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, U.K.
The A62JRT provides a maximum platform height of 19m (62ft) and will go into production later this year. It replaces the Snorkel AB60JRT, offering significantly improved drive and lift capabilities - particularly ‘up-and-over’ clearance - and a 100-percent reduction in tail swing compared to the older model.
Designed for rough terrain applications, the A62JRT shares a common chassis with Snorkel’s new 46-foot and 66-foot telescopic booms, helping to simplify service and repair work. Areas where this lift excels include maximum platform height at 18.8m (61ft 8 inches) and up-and-over clearance at 9m (29 ft 6 inches).
Along with the new lift, Snorkel is exhibiting machines representative of its extensive range. Also on the Snorkel stand will be the award-winning Pop-Up range of low-level access products, which are increasingly replacing ladders, steps and podiums for working indoors at lower heights.
