Kiwi keeps Snorkel's cost down

摘要

Access equipment supplier OmniQuip Textron is using this months' hire and rental exhibition in Melbourne to release the new Snorkel boom range, including straight telescopic and jib boom models.Managing director Ross Hogan said the new SP20 telescopic boom and SP22 jib boom were an upgrade from the highly successful SP2000 and TB60 models, built for the demanding Australian conditions.Value for money has been enhanced by the manufacture of the booms in New Zealand, one of the few countries where exchange rates favour Australia. "For the Australian market, which has always paid about a 20 percent premium for the Snorkel product, we can now combine the Snorkel performance and quality with pricing that's comparable with other brands," Hogan said.
