Lift-Maker Snorkel Showcases Three New Machines
As Snorkel celebrates its 60th year in business, the manufacturer showed off three new products at the American Rental Association’s ARA Show 2019, aka The Rental Show, this February. Snorkel’s new products in the spotlight are the S2755RT scissor lift, the SR1054 telehandler, and the 400S telescopic boom lift. Snorkel is also showing its E-Z Loader delivery truck bed and other rental equipment, along with its new online parts ordering and technical publications system.
A Compact Scissor Lift
The new S2755RT scissor lift is a compact, narrow model that’s light enough to pull on a trailer behind a pickup or SUV, Snorkel says. The rough-terrain lift is just 4.75 feet (1.45 meters) wide and weighs just 6,062 pounds (2,570 kilograms).
Still, it’s capable of lifting up to 661 pounds (300 kilograms) and has a maximum working height of about 33.2 feet (10.1 meters). The S2755RT has a bi-energy power source option.
A Large Telescopic Fork
Meanwhile, Snorkel’s SR1054 is its biggest telehandler yet. The new model has a reach of 41.3 feet (12.6 meters), a max lift height of 53.75 feet (16.4 meters), a lift capacity of 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms), and an operating weight of 26,852 pounds (12,180 kilograms).
A 100-horsepower (74.6-kilowatt) Deutz TLD 3.6L Tier 4 Final engine powers the SR1054. It also has a cab with heat and A/C, proportional joysticks, power steering assist, and full-time four-wheel drive.
A Hill-Climbing Boom Lift
Finally, there’s the new 400S telescopic boom lift, the smallest of Snorkel’s mid-size range. It has a horizontal outreach of about 33 feet (10.1 meters), a max working height of 46 feet (14 meters), an unrestricted lift capacity of 600 pounds (272 kilograms), and a restricted lift capacity of 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms).
A 49-horsepower (36.5-kilowatt) Deutz Tier 4 Final engine, four-wheel drive, and an oscillating axle help the 400S tackle grades of up to 50%, Snorkel says. The lift is also available as the 460SJ, which has a 6.6-foot (2.0-meter) jib boom with 135 degrees of vertical travel.
