The Snorkel S9070RT-HC is a behemoth of a scissor lift, reaching a working height of 23.3m and offering an extended platform size of 8.23m x 2.28m. These impressive proportions combine with a maximum platform capacity of 907kg, providing all the muscle necessary to tackle big projects at height.
The S9070RT-HC is the largest in Snorkel’s line of large-deck scissor lifts, which was designed to meet customer demand for increased jobsite productivity. Larger decks and higher platform capacities enable operators to do more work and reload less, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent raising, lowering and reloading the lift.
In addition to offering increased jobsite efficiency, the platform of the S9070RT-HC features an extra-wide pallet gate, so it can be easily loaded with a telehandler. This enables an operator to complete the loading process in a single pass, reducing the opportunity for error or accident, and it’s a much safer method of loading than suspending loads from a crane.
The S9070RT-HC has fold-down guardrails to achieve a minimum stowed height of 2.5m with ground clearance of 356mm. Featuring proportional controls, this machine boasts smooth operation and precision on any job site. This scissor lift has a maximum drive height of 13.1m, is rated to a maximum wind speed of 12.5m/s, a maximum drive speed of 6.7km/h while stowed, and has a raise/lower time of 70/40 seconds.
The dual powered extension decks and four hydraulic stabilizers with automatic leveling of up to 6° front to rear and 12° side to side on uneven surfaces offers the perfect combination of size and stability for big jobs. With rough-terrain design and gradeability of 50°, the S9070RT-HC isn’t just rugged, it’s versatile enough for most outdoor jobsites. With the addition of optional non-marking foam-filled tires, it’s also the ideal machine for indoor jobsites that require large loads and an extensive work space, such as remodeling or restoration on larger buildings like museums and cathedrals.
Engineers have kept operators in mind when designing the safety features of the S9070RT-HC. A larger platform design allows the operator to better access at height, and operators are less likely to need to lean over handrail if they can easily get close enough to the work area.A wide platform fits bigger and longer materials, and the added space means they are less likely to fall or get caught. D-rings have also been added on the platform to allow loads to be securely tied down for more sturdy transport.And a locking, oscillating axle allows front tires to conform to the ground and keep contact even on rough terrain, which improves and enhances stability and traction.
The S9070RT-HC also offers the option for a ‘Cold Weather Package’ for work in extreme outdoor environments. To enhance performance in low temperatures, the Cold Weather Package includes an electric block heater that preheats engine coolant and a hydraulic warm-up kit to circulate and heat oil.
