Hydromec International Ltd. has supplied a Snorkel M1230E vertical mast lift to work in the new warehouse at Nobleswear Manufacturing, Pallekelle (Industrial Zone). Hydromec also designed and supplied the integrated racking system for the warehouse. The Snorkel M1230E vertical mast lift is a highly-versatile aerial work platform, which is robust and simple to use. Designed for applications such as stockpicking and facilities maintenance, the Snorkel M1230E can be driven through a standard doorway, has a spacious platform which can lift two people plus tools to a working height of 3.6m, and benefits from compact overall dimensions making it very manoeuvrable in tight spaces. Nobleswear Ltd. commenced operations in 1987 with its first factory in Horana and thereafter expanded operations in Koggala and added two factories in Pallekelle. It exports 94% of its products to the European market. Hydromec began working with UpRight Powered Access in 2000 and has seven units working at the Smart Shirts facility. UpRight Powered Access rebranded as Snorkel in 2010, and a number of Snorkel lifts can also be found working at SriLankan Airlines, Sri Lanka Ports Authority, Airports in Mattala/Katunayake and the American Embassy in Sri Lanka, amongst others, all of which have been supplied and serviced by Hydromec International Ltd., which is the official Snorkel distributor in Sri Lanka. Hydromec International has installed racking systems for SriLankan Airlines, Timex Group, Hirdramani Group, Smart Shirts, Katunayake, Ceylon Biscuits, Maliban Biscuits and Lanka Floortiles to name a few. The company is also the dealer for Hyster material handling equipment.
