          The Snorkel Speed Level is available in two
        
        
          models - in 26 and 30 foot height capacities with
        
        
          an updated drive system. This sigma lift offers
        
        
          automatic self-levelling at gradients of up to 50%,
        
        
          without the need for stabilisers or outriggers.
        
        
          The drive system has been improved through its
        
        
          parallel hydraulic circuit operation allowing almost
        
        
          double the speed and torque of older speed level
        
        
          models and boasts genuine four wheel drive to get
        
        
          across slippery, wet, undulated surface conditions.
        
        
          Snorkel’s patented self-levelling system allows
        
        
          for fast and safe platform levelling on uneven
        
        
          ground conditions, delivering 9° tilt angle
        
        
          front-to-back and 13° tilt angle side-to-side
        
        
          compound slope levelling capability.
        
        
          The SL26SL provides a safe working load
        
        
          of 680kg and a working height of 10m with
        
        
          a spacious 1.7m x 3.7m platform. The SL30SL
        
        
          provides a working height of up to 11m, on a
        
        
          spacious 1.7m x 4.2m high grip deck, with lift
        
        
          capacity of 590kg.
