JLG named Supplier of the Year – Access

For the fourth time, JLG Industries has been named Supplier of the Year – Access Division

at the Hire Industry Excellence Awards (HIEA), presented at the culmination of HIRE16

– the Hire and Rental Industry Association (HRIA) Convention held on the Gold Coast

The new boom lift is part of a new family

of four telescopic boom lifts introduced

by Snorkel this year, including the 660SJ

that was officially launched at Bauma

2016.

The all-steel Snorkel 460SJ delivers a

working height of 16m, an outreach of

12.2m and can lift up to 272kg. The 460SJ

features a 2m jib boom that can articulate

135°, and the lift is also available without

the jib boom as the 400S model with a

working height of 12.2m.

Fitted with a fixed axle as standard, the

460SJ delivers excellent rough terrain

performance thanks to a traction manifold

that delivers oil to all four wheels,

providing constant 4-wheel drive, with

the ability to climb gradients of up to

50%. An oscillating axle is available as

an option. The 460SJ features Snorkel’s

new tri-entry removable platform, that is

equipped with Snorkel Guard secondary

guarding system as standard, and the

lift benefits from proportional joystick

controls for all functions, including

platform rotate and level.

market. The MHP13AT is a robust and

reliable towable boom lift, offering 12.9m

lift that can lift up 420kg to a working

height of 8.5m. Designed predominantly

for working in constricted areas on

uneven ground, this lift can be towed on

a trailer behind any vehicle with 3 tonne

GVM or greater, making it ideal for multi-

site applications.

duty XR1255 can lift up to 5,400kg, and

ground support is also highly valued by
