MAS orders 25 Snorkels

UK based TV and film aerial work platform rental specialist Media Access Solutions (MAS) has ordered 25 Snorkel electric and compact Rough Terrain scissor lifts.

The order consists of five 33ft S3370BE and 10 39ft S3970BE bi-energy compact Rough Terrain scissor lifts. The order is completed with a mix of 19ft S3219E, 26ft S4726E and 32ft S4732E electric slab scissor lifts. The deal was confirmed on Snorkel’s stand at Intermat in Paris.

MAS director Tim Kendall-Bastock said: “We are excited to add our new black edition, UK built Snorkel scissor lifts to our fleet. We have seen steady growth in our sector and the Snorkel range was always going to feature in our considerations. The Snorkel bi-energy compact Rough Terrain scissor lifts are of particular interest to our clients, as they can be used outside and inside the studios and have an impressive lift capacity which is something that our customers really appreciate. We think they will be an excellent addition to our offering. We would also like to thank Linda at Snorkel UK for her continued support.”
