Still will need the side rail for that extra 2 feet you always need.

entire video...how interesting we are and what we make...not a second wasted on showing the damn machine lifting high

Thanks guys, being 120ft in the air wasn't all ready scary enough on a construction site.

the foot print of these lifts never seem to reach wide enough for them not to tip over …..in my head. the fact that they do reach so far gives me the impression that the base should be much much wider, and also have a massive counterweight. this must come from the fear of being that far into the sky on just a boom. i don’t mind heights, but these lifts make me very nervous, even thou they are safe. congratulations on your accomplishment !

You obviously mean business. The look you guys have seems like you've seen people hit the dirt. It is an incredible machine.

Tallest I’ve been on is 135’ and that was sketchy. Even the smallest breeze has you swaying up at the top. The trick is to not look down and just focus on your work. At first it’s scary but once you get used to the natural movement of the rig then it becomes more comfortable

Of all the boom companies out there, snorkel is the last one I'd trust to go up 210 ft. I've been on your 46' articulated booms that were brand new from the factory and were broken. I'd dismiss it as a one off if it was only 1 but it was 3 different booms. No thank you snorkel. Keep your junk.

man, I work on boomlift everyday, mostly 66ft and 86ft ones, but sometimes 125ft or even 150ft ones.. I hate when I fully extend the boom and then slew to one side and you see the boom swinging like it's rubber.. or when you're fully extended and angled low like 40° or lower and you see the boom making an arc.. really scary..

When I saw the 185 JLG made I was impressed. Now that I’ve seen your machine, I’m super impressed!!! We’ll never use it in our industry, but it would be fun to see one in action.

WOW! Would like to have seen more of the machine operating.

As an operator I really appreciate the work that are those people doing.

Freaking amazing.

we all came here to see someone take it all the way , was kinda disapointed

Don't go up on a windy day, my helper was holding on to the side rail the entire time, I had to do the whole job alone, he looked pale, lol 😮😮

Awesome rig...

The snorkel we use keeps dying on idle, its brand new and it really sucks

Those things used to scare the hell,out of me!

You never showed it running! WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the maximum boom tilt at full extension?? How far can it boom out ground level?

The Bronto Skylift is nearly 300 feet tall. (I don't think it can move while extended though. Maybe that's the difference?)

nothing here seems to be innovative genie has had the same drive system for transport since the late 90's but kudos to you guys for literally looking down on the competition , the biggest ive worked on as a tech is the 1500sjp by jlg would love to get my hands on one of theese

I hired a 12m one to work on my chimney today. That'll do for me 🤣

Now you have to just hope you don’t get hit by a plane while in your boom lift. 😂

I have worked with a 185 it's not to bad

I hated working out of the 185 fully extended. Total nightmare

You could not pay me enough to go up in that 😬.

So i had a 18 foot time two snorkel which would extend to like 41feet total with two 18 foot booms and the five feet it was already above the ground. I was shaking when i was fully extended. It did not have extendable foot stabilizers on it for some odd reason but i believe some just dont have them if i remeber correctly. It was scary stuff. I cant imagine this thing. Wow. I think if carbon fober was used and they had a way to attach to the ground it would be able to go farther. I wonder if you would make an adhesive type stabilizer for the bottom to attach to concrete temporarily that would extend the amount of reach and height you could do. Also just because you can go high doesnt mean you can reach put far. That is when you really need to be secured to the ground. If you are on grass you could screw in with a corkscrew type decice on both sides like 6 or 8 feet and really go high and far. Or on concrete you could make an instant epoxy that you could glue down a plate with a ring to buckle the lift down hard. But then you have to pry it back up and grind the epoxy off and fix concrete. I qonder if they could make a vacuuming suction device like a very large surface area plunger that sucks and it holds the damn thing down. Or if on dirt maybe just like i said corkscrews would be best or just spikes that dig into the grass and dirt. Honestly just making the thing extend up to 20 feet outwards on each wheel so the wheelbase is like 40 feet wide olu the original wheelbase and 55 feet long with the original 15 foot wheel base front to rear but you also go out at an angle so the measurements would be a bit different than that. Just make each wheel have a boom that goes diagnol in direction and extends like 15 feet, then make the booms out of carbon fiber and then put a saftey measure on the boom that is like four really long carbon fiber extendable booms that are very thin that go all the way from the middle of the boom when fully extended and touch the ground on all 4 sides so it literally can jot fall if it wanted to. Kind of like a teepee. Make the boom automatically extend the thinner support booms when it gets to a certain doatance and they stop when they are 45 defrees and hit the ground. Then you could use the damn thing as a crane if you wanted to and install a small crane up p on the bucket. You could probably lift a thousand pounds easy if the boom was only 30 feet and made of carbon fiber and more if you incorporate more supports in this manner for the crane. I could build one that i capable of a lot. I need paper and a pen and about 5 million like these guys had and 🤯 BOOM.

Outriggers would be a good thing on large boom lift like this or even smaller. A realistic scenario, you are working on a boom lift, and like we all know, we are not always working in perfect condition, sometimes you are working on uneven ground, and every effing time, buzzzz, buzzzzz, buzzzzz, WTF, ahhh uneven ground, and the lift wound work. So outriggers thank you very much...

i dont care wat u say these things scare u make u 2nd guess ur career path lol

As long as it fits on the trailer I’ll ship it and I’ll keep my feet on the ground

wait....as soon as your done with design you start to make the parts? fucking genius statement...who woulda thought? I figured you guys just started cutting steel and welding not a clue what was being made!

SUPER un safe!!

somones going to die off that shit ..🤣

I hauled some of those steel chassis from Selma, CA when I worked for AXT

You could charge people to go for a ride!

They don't show it in operation or being transported. I call BS.

Nice, but not the tallest. Alpha Platforms has one that’s 300’.

I know this is two years old. The biggest factor that was not mentioned, is the operator. Who is brave enough to go that high? Not me. Not many. What a huge mistake.

Watch out for airplanes

Copied Genie X frame

I can't stand the 40 footer we have at work. No way in he'll I'd get in that thing!

All talk and no demonstration

JLG is The BEST

Fake Is it even safe??????

What did you guys do? I use 185s all the time. What did you guys do? I don't see anything. Who the hell made this video? Use the snorkel lifts 40 ' they die out all the time. Garbage. It concerns me that they are making much higher lifts... especially after watching such a vaguely informative video as this!
