The new Snake 2010 COMPACT is an articulated double-pantograph platform mounted on a truck with a GVW of 3.5 tons, which represents an extraordinary technological evolution with respect to current standards in the truck-mounted aerial platform market.

The double pantograph is activated by a single dual-action cylinder located at the base of the pantograph mechanism. The elevation and movement synchronisation are implemented by a rod system to prevent the lack of coordination that occurs in our rivals’ dual-cylinder systems.

The mechanism’s most important aspects are outlined below:
_ maximum elevation of the pantograph to 87°, which means the mechanism is compact and fits neatly into the truck during transportation.
_ the bars in the first and second transmission gears on the pantograph mechanism are exactly the same length; this is what enables the famous ‘plumb line’ manoeuvres, i.e. when the pantograph mechanism is manoeuvred up or down, the operator platform remains perfectly positioned and only moves vertically. As a result, the operators on the platform can carry out precision work such as  sealing prefabricated components and securing cables and drainpipes.
_ to offer more compact designs, our main rivals have developed the two transmission rods with different lengths, but this means they cannot perform proper vertical movements and so require inconvenient repositioning manoeuvres.

For the first time ever, stabilisation has become a top-priority issue in the innovation of an overhead work device.
This unusual and ground-breaking outrigger system, christened “GECKO”, embodies the company’s years of experience in the truck-mounted platforms sector, setting a new and higher standard of compliance with the safety regulations in force.

The system is protected by a range of international patents.

The GECKO system offers the following features:
_ removal of all parts above the frame level which could represent hazardous obstructions when lowering the working arm to the ground, apart from making manoeuvres to return the equipment to the resting position difficult;
_ minimum stabilisation position reached immediately;
_ once stabilised, unprecedented working levels can be reached using outriggers with a stroke of just 20 cm;
_ 300 mm load distribution plate to prevent the need to fit boards under the outrigger in 50% of cases
_ one characteristic that is unique worldwide and designed to achieve high passive safety standards on the outriggers is the plastic guards fitted with reflectors which signal the component’s presence on the road. Should a light vehicle travel over them, the special shape of these guards ensures there are no consequences for either the driver of the vehicle or the operators working overhead.

With a height of 2400 mm, width of 2100 mm, and length of 5800 mm, the Snake 2010 COMPACT is the most compact 20 m model available today on the world market.

The new Snake 2010 COMPACT is a fully hydraulically controlled platform with widely acknowledged and appreciated advantages in terms of ease of use and reliability.

The column rotates by 360° and is mounted on a double-row thrust ball bearing which is driven, in an irreversible motion, by worm screws. Also interesting is that, in order to make the machine even safer and less exposed to external agents, the piping/hosing that runs through the centre of the rotary column, are arranged tidily in a cable carrier chain which ensures the pipes and cables follow the column through the 360° of rotation without abrasions, accidental contact or tangling.

The frame in the most distinctive feature of this new model. The monoblock section frame is completely covered by a non-slip aluminium top, which is totally innovative with respect to the other models on the market today because it incorporates a double bend over the side sections of the equipment which protects all the devices in the truck and fitted in the frame section of the platform, leaving them less exposed.
Another new feature is the outrigger control post, which as it is located in an opening in the aluminium hood, makes machine stabilisation immediate and easy; the area above the stabilisation control areas also houses the emergency controls for the aerial structure which – also a brand-new feature – can be activated from the ground. The emergency hand pump has also been placed next to the same distributor in order to allow operation by a single person. 
The equipment’s spacious, clear bed is finished with lightweight alloy side panels on both sides.
