Rent Snorkel
Equipment in Canada

Snorkel Manufacturing's roots in Elwood, Kansas stretch back to 1958, making it one of the genuine pioneers of the North American aerial work platform industry - predating many competitors whose market prominence has since eclipsed Snorkel's public profile. The company's history includes multiple ownership transitions, including a period under Figgie International and subsequent independence before integration into the Xtreme Manufacturing family. Through every corporate evolution, Snorkel has maintained a commitment to engineering machines that deliver reliable elevated access at price points that make fleet economics work for small and mid-size rental companies.

The S-series telescopic boom lifts occupy competitive territory directly alongside Genie and JLG products, and Snorkel actively markets itself as a high-quality alternative that provides comparable performance with ownership and maintenance cost advantages. For Canadian rental companies building out their fleets in secondary markets - mid-size cities, resource towns, agricultural regions - the ability to expand boom lift inventory at a lower capital cost per unit enables better market coverage and improved utilization across the fleet. Snorkel's straightforward hydraulic systems and standardized component sourcing support this cost advantage through the equipment's operational life.

The T-series articulating boom lifts address the over-and-around access requirements that commercial construction, industrial maintenance, and building services work generate across Canada. Snorkel's articulating boom geometry is engineered for maximum versatility within each working height class, providing working envelope dimensions that allow Canadian mechanical and electrical contractors to position workers efficiently in the complex environments that modern commercial and industrial buildings present. Models are available in both diesel and electric configurations, with the electric variants increasingly preferred for interior Canadian construction work where site safety programs prohibit or limit internal combustion engine use.

Snorkel scissor lifts - available in both slab-deck electric and rough-terrain diesel configurations - round out a product line that covers the major aerial access categories that Canadian rental customers request. The rough-terrain SR-series scissor lifts are particularly well-suited to the outdoor construction phases of Canadian projects, where unprepared ground surfaces, sloped terrain, and seasonal mud conditions demand machines with genuine off-road capability rather than the nominal outdoor ratings that some competitors apply to essentially indoor machines. Snorkel's regional dealer presence across Canada supports fleet maintenance with competitively priced parts and service.
