Elwood, KS - Snorkel International is urging all owners and users of three Snorkel products to conduct vital safety checks.
Snorkel has uncovered a potential issue with a small number of boom lifts produced prior to 2004, which might not be fitted with the proper number of boom sensors. The machines affected are the Snorkel TB120, TB126J and PRO126.
Jeff Eckhardt, Engineering Manager for Snorkel International, said: "We believe the potential problem is limited some Snorkel TB120s, TB126Js and PRO126s, produced between 2000 and 2003.
"However, we strongly advise that owners check all machines from these three lines.
"It is vital that they conduct checks on the boom angle and length sensors and retrofit additional sensors where appropriate."
All owners, operators, or end users of a Snorkel TB120, TB126J, or PRO126, should contact their Snorkel or Upright Service representatives immediately:
