Snorkel has entered into a full-service distribution agreement with Russian rental company, Arslift.

The agreement, which started on 1 June 2021, appoints Arslift as the official distribution partner for Snorkel in the Russian Federation, to sell all Snorkel products, including mobile elevating work platforms, telehandlers and material lifts into the territory, as well as genuine Snorkel spare parts, and to provide technical service and support to Snorkel customers in the region.

Arslift has already purchased a number of Snorkel lifts, which they have been operating within their rental fleet, including ten Snorkel A38E electric articulated boom lifts. They also have multiple units on order including MB26J mast boom lifts, A46JRT articulated boom lifts, and a TL49J towable boom lift.
