2 Cousins Powered Access is growing its hire fleet with the addition of its first Snorkel lifts.
The company took an initial delivery of two Snorkel A38E electric articulated boom lifts from Snorkel UK in early July, which is the first part of a new order and larger investment into their fleet. The lifts were handed over by Scott Holtby, Area Sales Manager for Snorkel UK, and went out on hire the following day with positive initial feedback from customers.
Headquartered in Oxford, 2 Cousins Powered Access is a well-established specialist mobile elevating work platform hire company, offering a comprehensive range of related services to customers. As a member of Access Link, an association of regional powered access companies, 2 Cousins Powered Access can provide a nationwide service across the UK and Ireland from a single point of contact, accessing 27 depots and more than 4,400 powered access units.
Jason Prisley, Managing Director at 2 Cousins Powered Access, said: “We were on the lookout for some new product lines to enhance our customer offering when Scott approached us with the Snorkel A38E. Claudio and I took a trip to Snorkel’s UK factory earlier this year to see the range of machines we had in mind, all in one place. The A38E particularly appealed to us due to its unrivaled working height in its class and the hugely reduced turning circle. The environmental benefits of a purely electric lift with such a long duty cycle also fitted with our expectations for how the market will change and move for the future.”
The Snorkel A38E is an electric articulated boom lift that can reach a working height of up to 13.5m. Designed for internal and external use, the zero emission A38E is said to feature an industry-leading height-to-weight ratio, and articulating/telescopic boom configuration that combines an excellent working envelope and manoeuvrability at height with compact stowed dimensions for ease of transport. Capable of lifting up to 215kg, it comes equipped with non-marking high grip tyres, efficient direct DC electric drive, and Snorkel Guard secondary guarding as standard.
