This highly efficient system draws up 50% less amps than the hydraulic drive version, allowing the operator to work longer with increased duty cycles and with greater efficiency. These lifts include a fixed upper control box with a power to platform outlet as Raft of new access products coming from Ahern in 2018 Following the launch of its new line of Snorkel electric scissor lifts and the innovative Xtreme E-Z Loader custom delivery truck in 2017, Snorkel will be launching the 400S and 460SJ mid-size telescopic boom lifts at The Rental Show in New Orleans, USA. standard; saloon-door style entry gates; plus a built-in step in the chassis to ease access in and out of the stowed platform.
