The Snorkel S3970RT is the top choice in Snorkel’s compact rough terrain scissor lift line, purpose built to deliver safe and dependable height access on tough outdoor worksites. Its powerful diesel engine, generous ground clearance and oscillating axle work together to maintain stability and traction across uneven or sloping surfaces.
The Snorkel S3970RT is the largest model in Snorkel’s compact rough terrain scissor lift range, engineered to give you reliable height access on demanding outdoor worksites. Powered by a robust diesel engine, this lift delivers excellent ground clearance and an oscillating axle for confident performance across uneven or sloped surfaces.
Designed to remain compact and lightweight, the S3970RT is ideal for tight or restricted areas where larger machines can’t operate. Auto‑levelling outriggers provide fast set‑up on rough ground, while the roll‑out deck extension gives you extra platform space for tools and multiple workers. Its strong lifting capacity and steady platform make it a trusted choice for construction, maintenance, installations and trade work.
Key Features:
- This 4-wheel drive delivers strong off-road performance and reliable movement across rough terrain.
- Four (4) hydraulic stabilisers with automatic levelling provide a safer setup and steady operation on uneven ground.
- Roll out deck extension increases workspace and allows greater horizontal reach without repositioning.
- Non-marking foam-filled tyres reduce punctures, protect finished surfaces, and improve stability.
- Oscillating axle enhances traction and maintains tyre contact on uneven surfaces.
- Proportional controls support smooth, accurate and confident machine operation.
- The platform overload system helps ensure safe, compliant lifting by preventing operation when overweight.
- Fold-down guardrails make transport easier and improve access into tighter areas.
