Snorkel Boom Lifts Long Beach

Wally Johnson, back during 1946, created the markets for both scaffold towers and aerial work platforms all by himself. He accomplished this by starting a company that became UpRight. Mr. Wally Johnson was a really skilled mechanical engineer who resided in Berkeley, CA. He stumbled upon access machinery when he started searching for a a way to paint his house.



Mr. Johnson found it hard to look for capable scaffolding when he started a home painting project. Current scaffolding could not handle the uneven terrain on his land. After being really unsatisfied with his choices, he decided to design his own aluminum scaffold tower along with adjustable legs.



The Snorkel Company was also established the same year within St. Joseph, Missouri. This small company helped to revolutionize the new elevating boom lift. The machine was made for rescue and firefighting work. In less than 2 decades, the technology had developed into self-propelled boom lifts.



The very first self-propelled lift was sold by Snorkel during the year 1977. This particular product line did not take long to become the main business for the company.



Wallace Johnson quickly catapulted to the top of the industry with his new scaffold. After he had accomplished this field, he decided to start all over and make the world's first self-propelled aerial lift.



Mr. Johnson in the year 1972, opened a factory in Selma, where he produced the "Flying Carpet" scissor lift. After this new and exciting machine exploded onto the marketplace, the ground-breaking product soon out-ranked the scaffolding component as the main source of income of the company.



Wallace Johnson passed away in the year 1980. At that time, the company UpRight Inc. was sold but his pioneering and inventive spirit lived on. In the year 1994, UpRight introduced the first micro-scissor in the world. They went on to pioneer the TM12, which is the self-propelled mast lift.
