Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Electric Power: The A38E’s electric drive eliminates tailpipe emissions and significantly reduces noise compared to internal combustion alternatives. In practical terms, this means it is suited for indoor work around people, inventory, or sensitive environments where air quality and sound levels matter. Electric systems also simplify daily operation—no fuel runs—and can lower operating costs over time.
• Solid Non-Marking Tires: These tires are engineered to avoid leaving scuffs or marks on polished concrete, epoxy-coated floors, tile, or other finished surfaces. They are also puncture-resistant compared to pneumatic tires, which helps minimize downtime from flats and supports steady productivity in warehouses, manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and similar facilities.
• 38' Platform Height and 44' Working Height: With a 38-foot platform height (approximately 44 feet to typical working height), this articulating boom lift offers the vertical reach needed for ceiling-level tasks, high-bay lighting, HVAC, sprinkler work, conduit runs, and facility maintenance. The difference between platform and working height gives operators a realistic expectation of how high tasks can be performed while standing within the platform.
• 48 Volt Batteries: A robust 48V battery system provides the energy storage required for a full day of typical indoor duty cycles, depending on application. In practice, this means longer operating windows between charges, consistent power delivery, and compatibility with widely available industrial charging infrastructure.
• On Board Charger: The integrated charger streamlines daily logistics. Operators can plug the A38E into a suitable power source at the end of the shift without special external equipment. This reduces charging complexity on mixed job sites and supports predictable, overnight charging routines.
• Articulating Boom Design: Articulation allows “up-and-over” access around obstacles like racking, ductwork, mezzanines, and machinery. In real-world scenarios, this reduces repositioning time and expands the variety of tasks you can complete from one setup point, improving productivity in tight or obstructed areas.
• Snorkel Build Quality: Snorkel is a well-regarded brand in aerial work platforms, known for practical designs that emphasize operator safety and straightforward maintenance. This reputation contributes to dependable performance and simplifies service planning for owners.
• 2015 Model Year with 1,560 Hours: For buyers focused on lifecycle and value, the combination of a later-model year and moderate hours is compelling. You get the benefit of modern electric boom lift design with usage that leaves room for future service life, translating into a favorable total cost of ownership.

Applications

The Snorkel A38E Articulating Boom Lift is a versatile choice for any operation that needs safe, clean, and quiet elevated work. The electric powertrain and non-marking tires make it a standout for interior tasks, while its articulating geometry handles complex access challenges with ease. Common uses include:

• Facilities Maintenance: Lighting, ceiling repairs, signage, camera systems, fire protection, and general upkeep.
• Warehousing and Distribution: Conveyor work, racking adjustments, inventory management at height, and safety system installation.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Plants: Equipment access, process line modifications, electrical and mechanical work in production areas.
• Commercial Construction and Fit-Out: Interior build-outs, MEP trades, drywall and finishing tasks at height, and punch-list work.
• Institutional Environments: Schools, universities, hospitals, laboratories, libraries, and arenas where non-marking tires and low noise are essential.
• Retail and Public Spaces: Malls, showrooms, museums, and event venues that require clean operation and minimal disruption.

Ownership Value

Owners of electric articulating boom lifts routinely cite lower day-to-day operating costs compared to internal combustion machines. There is no need to purchase fuel, and fewer moving parts can translate into simplified routine maintenance. The 48 volt battery system supports efficient energy use, and the on board charger reduces the need for specialized charging equipment. For organizations focused on sustainability and ESG objectives, a quiet, emission-free boom lift can support indoor air quality initiatives and minimize job-site noise, all while maintaining access capabilities to 44 feet working height. Pairing solid non-marking tires with electric power also reduces the risk of flooring damage and environmental impact from potential leaks associated with some conventional drivetrains. In short, the A38E’s configuration helps reduce operating friction and supports productive, predictable ownership.
