Types of Snorkel Scissor Lifts
Narrow Electric Slab Lifts: S3219E and S3226E
Snorkel’s 32 in wide electric slab lifts fit through standard doorways and use non-marking tires. The S3219E reaches a 19 ft platform height and the S3226E reaches 26 ft, and both carry 550 lb. They are rated for two people indoors and one outdoors, and they drive at full height. See our 19 ft and 26 ft scissor lift guides to compare them with other brands.
Wide Electric Slab Lifts: S4726E, S4732E and S4740E
The 47 in wide models give a bigger platform and more capacity for two-person work with materials. The S4726E carries 1,000 lb at a 26 ft platform height, the S4732E carries 770 lb at 32 ft, and the S4740E is the 40 ft class model. Snorkel rates these models for indoor and outdoor use. Our 32 ft scissor lift guide covers the S4732E class.
Diesel Rough Terrain Lifts: S3370RT and S3970RT
Snorkel’s rough terrain scissor lifts use a 22.5 hp Kubota diesel engine and four-wheel drive for construction sites. The S3370RT has a 33 ft 2 in platform height and a 1,000 lb capacity, and the S3970RT reaches 37 ft 9 in with a 770 lb capacity. Both are about 5 ft 11 in wide.

Pros and Cons of Snorkel Scissor Lifts
Pros
- The S3219E and S3226E carry 550 lb on a 32 in wide chassis that fits standard doorways.
- The wide S4726E carries 1,000 lb, useful for two-person work with materials.
- Rough terrain models use a Kubota diesel with four-wheel drive and 30 to 35% gradeability.
- Most used electric units on FleetNow are late-model machines with low hours.
Cons
- Fewer used units than Genie, JLG or Skyjack, so there is less choice outside the S3219E and S3226E.
- Narrow electric models are rated for one person outdoors, so plan two-person outdoor work on a different machine.
- The S3226E weighs about 5,000 lb, so check floor and elevator ratings before using it on upper floors.
- Parts and service support varies by area, so check for a Snorkel dealer or service shop near you.
What to Check Before Buying a Used Snorkel Scissor Lift
- Serial plate and decals: confirm the model year, platform capacity, occupants and indoor or outdoor rating.
- Inspection and service records: ask for the most recent annual inspection report.
- Batteries and charger (electric models): check battery age, corrosion and water levels, and make sure the lift reaches full height and drives normally on a full charge.
- Engine (RT models): check the hour meter, look for oil and coolant leaks, and ask for engine service records.
- Scissor stack: raise to full height and hold. Watch for drift, and check the pins, bushings and arms for wear, cracks or bent sections.
- Safety systems: test the emergency stop, emergency lowering, tilt alarm and pothole protection.
- Platform: check the guardrails, gate and extension deck, and make sure the deck slides and locks.
- Tires and drive: look for chunked or flat-spotted tires and test steering, brakes and drive speed when raised.
- Price check: compare hours and year against similar Snorkel and competitor listings on FleetNow.

Snorkel Scissor Lift FAQs
Snorkel is an aerial work platform brand that builds scissor lifts, boom lifts and telehandlers. Since 2013 it has been majority-owned by Xtreme Manufacturing, owned by Don Ahern, and Snorkel lists manufacturing plants in the United States, the UK, New Zealand and China.
The S3219E has a 19 ft platform height and a 25 ft working height, with a 550 lb platform capacity. It is 32 in wide, so it fits through standard doorways, and it is rated for two people indoors and one outdoors.
In November 2026, most used S3219E lifts on FleetNow were listed at $5,000 to $5,400, and most S3226E lifts at about $8,100. Rough terrain S3970RT lifts mostly fell between $27,400 and $29,200. See current Snorkel listings for today’s prices.
Both. Snorkel E models such as the S3219E, S3226E and S4732E are battery-powered electric slab lifts on 24 V systems. RT models such as the S3370RT and S3970RT are rough terrain lifts with a 22.5 hp Kubota diesel engine.
It depends on the model and where you are working. The narrow S3219E and S3226E are rated for two people indoors and one outdoors. Always follow the capacity decal on the platform, which lists the allowed occupants and weight for indoor and outdoor use.
Snorkel lists the S3226E at 5,000 lb, the S4726E at 4,750 lb, the S4732E at 5,700 lb, the S3370RT at 7,980 lb and the S3970RT at 8,355 lb. The S3219E operator manual lists about 2,750 lb. Check the serial plate before you arrange transport.
On electric slab models, the first two digits are the width in inches and the last two are the platform height class in feet, so the S4732E is 47 in wide with a 32 ft platform. Rough terrain names work differently: the S3370RT has about a 33 ft platform, and the S3970RT is the larger 37 to 39 ft class.
FleetNow lists used Snorkel scissor lifts from rental fleets and dealers, including the S3219E, S3226E and S3970RT. You can also contact FleetNow for help finding a specific model.
