Munich, Germany (27th May 2016) – Longstanding Snorkel customer, Siegl GmbH, placed an order for twelve Snorkel lifts during Bauma 2016. Impressed by Snorkel’s new line of electric slab scissor lifts, the order included the new S3215E and S3220E models that were officially launched at the show.
The new S3215E and S3220E scissor lifts join the existing family of four hydraulic drive lifts, which include the S3219E, S3226E, S4726E and S4732E.
