Snorkel A38Es ready for rent

Ahern Deutschland, the sales and service provider of Snorkel lifts in Germany and Austria, has delivered 30 Snorkel A38E electric boom lifts to German rental company Gerken.

The Snorkel A38E electric boom lifts were manufactured and custom-painted in Snorkel's Vigo Centre facility in the UK, complete with Gerken's distinctive red paint, in a 'ready to rent' condition with all decals and livery applied. From Ahern Deutschland's facility, the lifts were shipped directly to Gerken branches and immediately deployed into the rental fleet.

Gerken is one of the leading aerial work platform rental companies in Europe, with locations across Germany and Spain. There are over 4,200 aerial work platforms in the Gerken rental fleet, consisting of over 400 different models, including a selection of lifts with working heights over 60 m.

Established in 1963 as a painting business, Gerken Arbeitsbuehnenvermietung was set up in 1989 to focus on the rental of aerial work platforms.

The Snorkel A38E is a direct electric drive articulating boom lift that can lift up to 215 Kg to a working height of 13.5 m.

According to director Christian Gerken, the new equipment gives customers more choice. "The Snorkel A38E is a well-established product that delivers the rare combination of an excellent working envelope with a low machine weight," he notes.
