Smiths pushes ahead

24 November 2021

Smiths Equipment Hire has just added twenty Snorkel S3010P push-around scissor lifts to its fleet.

Designed as an alternative to step ladders and scaffold towers, the machine reaches a maximum working height of 5.0m, and can be pushed into position or manoeuvred around a building when stowed. 

Blackpool-based Smiths Hire operates 16 depots covering the North West of England. Last year the company marked its 50th anniversary. 

Joint managing director, Thomas Smith, who is pictured (right) with Snorkel’s business development manager and net zero specialist Scott McCall, said: “Low level access products are popular with our customers and are hired for many different types of projects.

"We chose the Snorkel S3010P as they are robust products that stand up well to the demands of the hire industry, and we like that fact that they are manufactured here in the UK, just a few hours up the road from our depots.” 

Earlier this year, Smiths Hire opened new depots in Castleford, Morecambe, Burnley and Manchester.
