Amsterdam, The Netherlands
On June 24, 2014, Snorkel announced the return of the TM12 model name at the APEX exhibition in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The ‘TM12’ name will replace the existing ‘M1230E’ nomenclature, currently used on its 3.6m (12ft) self-propelled telescopic mast lift. The TM12 name will appear on the latest enhanced version of the popular lift which will include a 0.5m roll-out extension deck as standard.
The roll-out deck, which was previously available as an option, provides extra reach, which is ideal when working in retail and warehousing environments, allowing the operator to safely access areas above low level obstacles, such as shelving.
This enhanced version of the lift also includes hydraulic-powered descent, which provides the operator to precisely position the platform when lowering the lift.
The Snorkel TM12 is an all-electric self-propelled mast lift which can be driven through standard interior doorways and carried in passenger elevators – yet will still lift two people with tools.
The robust reverse concentric mast design gives the TM12 its excellent lift capacity of 227kg and an extremely stable work platform, even when fully elevated. Powered by dual front-mounted hydraulic motors, it also has a high amp hour rating, ensuring a long operating life between battery charges.
The machine has twin ‘saloon door-style’ entry gates, smooth proportional controls, and easy-to-use diagnostics for troubleshooting. It also has a flat steel deck floor with high grip tape, which prevents any misplaced screws or other small items from falling into the machine’s works.
