Arthur Moore, also known as Art Moore, founder and board member of Nevada, US-headquartered access equipment company Snorkel, passed away on 19 June, 2019, at the age of 94 years.
Moore is credited for having developed the Snorkel TB-42 telescopic boom lift, and the introduction of the first ‘big boom’, which reached a height of 38m.
Inducted into the American Rental Association’s Hall of Fame in 2017, Moore became a board member at Snorkel in October 2013 after the company was acquired by Don Ahern that month.
Commenting on Moore’s passing, Ahern said: “For many years, Art Moore was a mentor to myself and others in the early years of the access rental and dealership business, and he ultimately became a close friend.
“He will be a great miss to Snorkel and the wider industry, and I send my sincere condolences to Sue and family at this difficult time.”
