Snorkel’s largest mid-sized telescopic boom lift, the 660SJ, has a working height of 22m and maximum outreach of 17.7m

The Snorkel’s 660SJ is a mid-sized telescopic boom lift with a robust, structure, making it suitable for the rigors of rental use. Its all-steel design and constant 4-wheel driving will stand up to the wear-and-tear of jobsites and provide outstanding performance on rough terrain.
With a working height of 22.0m and a maximum outreach of 17.7m, the 660SJ is the largest model in Snorkel’s line of mid-sized telescopic boom lifts. A dual envelope allows for maximum lift capacities, up to 272 unrestricted and up to 454 restricted.

The 660SJ is equipped with a 1.67m jib, the largest in the industry with a 135° working arc, from -65° to +70°. Jib and platform rotate are also proportional, representing a first in the AWP industry. The jib boom’s working arc combined with the platform’s rotation allows the boom operator to reach the optimal working position.

Built to handle tough environments, the new Snorkel 660SJ is powered by a Deutz engine and provides excellent rough terrain performance thanks to two-speed motors and a traction manifold that delivers oil to all four wheels, providing constant 4-wheel drive and can handle gradients up to 45%.

The 660SJ also features a rugged all-steel construction with a 4-plate “top-hat” style boom weldment and an all-steel platform, eliminating fiberglass and plastic that can easily get damaged in the field. The turret offers 360° continuous rotation and delivers a constant 1.2m tailswing radius to prevent collisions when slewing the machine.

A quick-disconnect, tri-entry platform design with saloon doors offers 150° platform rotation for precise positioning. The platform also features a built-in, light duty panel carrier that can hold one or two sheets of material.

The lift features an interactive link that is completely mechanical for low maintenance and easy servicing. All turret pins are fully floating with bushing for easy pin removal when required. The bushing prevents wear on the surrounding weldment as there is no metal-on-metal contact, eliminating rust. The 660SJ also features all-steel fuel and hydraulic tanks, a swing-out engine tray for ease of maintenance, and large tie down points for easier transport.

All Snorkel boom lifts, including the Snorkel 660SJ, come equipped with the Snorkel Guard secondary guarding system fitted as standard. Designed in-house by Snorkel’s engineering team, the simple mechanical system features a spring-loaded rail that sits above the upper control panel and cuts out machine operations when compressed to increase operator safety.

Always consistent in Snorkel’s design of simplicity, the 660SJ has open-loop hydraulics and CAN bus controllers, making it easier for maintenance, service and training. An on-board diagnostic system is built into the 660SJ, providing a simple text visual interface for easy troubleshooting without the need for additional diagnostic tools. This reduces on-site service calls as the error codes can be clearly communicated to a service technician via telephone.

The 660SJ is designed to deliver low total ownership costs and a long working life. The all-steel construction allows ease of manufacturing and a high return on investment.
