How To Read Snorkel Serial Plates

How To Read Snorkel Serial Plates

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
  • Legacy booms (manufactured before 2017) – To the side of the lower control panel

*Please be sure to check the exact location as each machine differs.

SERIAL NUMBER

One of the most important pieces of information is the serial number, located on the top right of the serial plate. Separated by three dashes, the serial number identifies four things: the model number, manufacturing plant, manufacturing date and unit number.
