Snorkel launches telehandlers at World of Concrete 2019

Leading global manufacturer of aerial work platforms, Snorkel, is celebrating the start of its 60th year in business with the launch of two new telehandlers at World of Concrete 2019.

Snorkel to launch telehandlers

Snorkel will launch a brand new series of North American telehandlers in 2014. Aiming to compete with popular telehandler products currently manufactured by Genie, JLG and Manitou and others, the Snorkel line will feature units in the 5,900-pound to 12,000-pound capacity range. The first series for North America will come to the market in 2014, while a global series will hit the market in 2015.

Access Equipment: Accessing Heights, Safely

The data on the global market for new construction equipment is quite interesting. Aerial work platforms came from nowhere in 2005, to become the fourth largest segment of the new construction equipment market, at 7.2 per cent of a US $ 65- billion industry in 2010.

Telehandlers Still in a Niche Market

Though the telehandler was introduced long back to the Indian market, it still remains a new concept, probably, due to the high cost and lack of awareness among the user industry.
