Snorkel's first telehandler - the SR5919

The heavy-duty unit is based on the Xtreme comact telehandler, but with significant changes for a different customer base. It is said to offer good all round visibility from the choice of open or enclosed cabs. The SR5919 has a solid steel plate chassis, a large cross-section boom and protected tilt and extend cylinders, steel hydraulic and fuel tanks and melonite pins.
