The M2032J is a compact work platform from the Snorkel Boom Lift series. This model belongs to the work platform category and is manufactured by Snorkel. The machine is designed as an electrically driven articulating boom lift, as reflected in its technical specifications. It is suitable for indoor use or on sensitive floors, as it is equipped with solid, non-marking tires. The design allows for obstacle clearance via the articulating boom, while the compact structure facilitates operation in confined spaces.
The technical specifications of the M2032J are designed for precise positioning and safe load handling. The empty weight of 2,570 kg determines the requirements for transport and floor loading during setup. The platform offers space for the operator and tools with a length of 787.4 mm and a width of 736.6 mm, while the load capacity is 215 kg. The drive system consists of four batteries with a total capacity of 375 Ah at a system voltage of 24 V. The maximum speed of 3.1 km/h and a turning radius of 1,850 mm ensure controlled movement indoors, while the dimensions of 2,430 mm in length and 810 mm in width allow passage through narrow aisles.
Within the Snorkel Boom Lift series, the M2032J ranks 25th out of 25 models with specified empty weights. It is therefore the lightest model in this comparison group. The next heavier model in the series is the M2639J with an empty weight of 2,672 kg. The range of empty weights in the series extends from 2,570 kg to 18,978 kg. This classification shows that the M2032J represents the lower end of the weight scale for this specific model series and distinguishes itself from heavier variants by its low mass.
Snorkel boom lifts AB, TB, M and SP – from Elwood, Kansas: AB for articulating, TB for telescopic, the number as working height in feet, J for the jib, up to the TB126J, 2.6 to 19 t
Snorkel goes back to the fire service: in 1958 the Pitman company in Kansas built the first articulated-boom firefighting unit, which became known as the 'Snorkel', and from it grew the maker of aerial work platforms that today manufactures in Elwood, Kansas, and Vigo in Spain and has belonged to the Ahern group since 2013. The type logic of the boom lifts: AB stands for Articulating Boom, the articulated telescopic lift that reaches over obstacles, TB for Telescopic Boom, the straight boom with long reach, M for the compact electric articulating lifts for indoor use, SP for the mast lifts; the number gives the working height in feet – AB38 about 38 ft, TB60 60 ft, TB126J 126 ft, i.e. a good 40 m – J marks the jib at the boom end, RT and 4x4 the rough-terrain version with all-wheel drive, E and N electric drive and the narrow layout respectively, W the wide one.

The register lists 27 versions with service weights from 2,570 to 18,978 kg, lengths from 930 to 8,900 mm and widths from 810 to 2,603 mm – the 810 mm wide M models drive through doors, the TB120 and TB126J are the lifts for shipyards, stadiums and industrial construction.
Boom lifts are the machines for work over obstacles – façades, hall roofs, bridge undersides – where scissor lifts cannot reach; Snorkel serves above all the rental market and is strong in North America and Britain.
On used lifts, operating hours, play in boom and slew-ring bearings, the condition of hydraulic cylinders and hoses, the function of tilt and load sensors and a valid periodic inspection, without which no lift may be operated, are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
