The S1930 is an electrically driven scissor lift manufactured by the US-based company Snorkel. This model belongs to the Scissor Lift series, which includes compact aerial work platforms for indoor use and level outdoor applications. With a length of 1,680 mm and a width of 760 mm, the S1930 is among the smaller units in this series. The design is intended for use in enclosed spaces or on smooth surfaces, where the low ground clearance of 70.1 mm ensures high stability at a low profile height.
The empty weight of 1,336 kg allows for transport in many standard trucks without the need for special lifting equipment. The platform offers sufficient space for one or two workers, with a length of 1,630.2 mm and a width of 740.2 mm. The platform extension of 914.1 mm allows the working range to be expanded laterally, improving access to work areas. The load capacity of 227 kg covers typical requirements for maintenance and assembly work. The 4x12 solid rubber tires are maintenance-free and prevent damage to sensitive floors. The maximum speed of 3.2 km/h and the turning radius of 1,640 mm allow for precise maneuvering in narrow aisles. The lifting time of 12 s and the lowering time of 24 s ensure rapid height changes.
Within the series, the S1930 ranks 11th out of 11 models in terms of empty weight. It is therefore the lightest model in the series. The next larger model is the S2033, with a weight of 1,701 kg. The weight range of the series spans from 1,336 to 4,218 kg. This positioning makes the S1930 the first step in the weight range.
Snorkel Scissor Lift – scissor platforms from Elwood, Kansas: eleven models from the S1930 to the SR4084, 1.3 to 4.2 tonnes weight, 1.68 to 4.39 metres long, diesel and diesel/LPG drive
Snorkel is a US maker of aerial work platforms based in Elwood, Kansas. The Scissor Lift range covers electrically driven scissor lifts marked S for indoor use and level outdoor ground, and rough-terrain versions marked SR for uneven building sites; the models run from the compact S1930 to the large SR4084 with correspondingly greater working height and a wider platform. The rough-terrain SR models run either on a diesel engine or in a combined diesel/LPG version for use in enclosed spaces.

The register lists here 11 versions with weights from 1,336 to 4,218 kg, lengths from 1,680 to 4,390 mm and widths from 760 to 2,131 mm; a number of versions run on diesel, others on a combined diesel/LPG drive.
Scissor lifts of this size raise people and tools vertically for work on ceilings, façades and installations and are common on building sites, in warehouses and during maintenance work; the rough-terrain SR models with four-wheel drive additionally open up unpaved ground, while the electric S models are built for indoor use and level surfaces. Snorkel competes in this segment with Genie and JLG.
When buying used, the condition of the scissor arms and their bearings, the tightness of the lift cylinders, the condition of the platform extension and guardrails, on rough-terrain models the tyres and four-wheel drive, and the function of the emergency lowering system all count; spare parts run through the Snorkel and Xtreme dealer network.

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.
