When contacting Snorkel support, the serial plate on your Snorkel lift provides key information about the machine, including product specifications, origin of manufacturing and manufacture date. Understanding the serial plate is important for safe operation and maintenance of the unit.
LOCATING THE SERIAL PLATE
General location of serial plate by model family.*
- Electric slab scissor lifts and mast lifts – Below the saloon doors and behind the steps
- Rough terrain scissor lifts – On the cabinet near the lower control panel
- Telescopic boom lifts – On the left frame plate, behind the wheel
- Articulating boom lifts – On the upper turntable below the base of the boom, or rear of chassis
