Snorkel Boom Lifts Arlington

Wally Johnson, back in 1946, created the markets for both aerial work platforms and scaffold towers all by himself. He attained this by establishing a company which became UpRight. Mr. Wally Johnson was an extremely gifted mechanical engineer who lived in Berkeley, Arlington. He stumbled upon access machinery when he started searching for a a way to paint his home.



Mr. Johnson found it hard to search for capable scaffolding when he started a house painting project. Current scaffolding was not able to handle the uneven terrain on his property. After being extremely discontented with his options, he decided to design his own aluminum scaffold tower along with adjustable legs.



During that very same year, the Snorkel Company was founded within St. Joseph, Missouri. The company was responsible for introducing a revolutionary new elevating boom lift to the market. The machine was produced for rescue and firefighting work. In less than 2 decades, the technology had developed into self-propelled boom lifts.



During the year 1977, Snorkel sold its first self-propelled lift. This specialized product line did not take long to become the company's main business.



It did not take long for Wallace Johnson to catapult to the top of the industry and attain global domination with his scaffold. When he had attained this field, he decided to start all over and create the world's first self-propelled aerial lift.



In the year 1972, Mr. Johnson opened a new factory within Selma. There he produced the "Flying Carpet" scissor lift. After this exciting and new machine exploded onto the marketplace, the innovative product soon out-ranked the scaffolding component as the company`s main source of revenue.



During 1980, Wallace Johnson passed away, while the company, UpRight Inc. was sold at that time too. Mr Johnson's inventive and pioneering spirit did continue to live on. In 1994, UpRight launched the world's very first micro-scissors. They went on to pioneer the self-propelled mast lift, the TM12.
