This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $59,950 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for scissor lifts at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →

The S2255RT fills a specific niche in the Australian market: a narrow rough-terrain scissor lift compact enough for tight site access yet stable on unfinished ground thanks to its self-levelling outriggers. Typical buyers are hire fleets, formwork and facade contractors, and civil crews who need diesel power where slab-bound electric scissors cannot go. Used stock skews heavily toward late-model ex-fleet units offered across the eastern states and South Australia, almost always in the standard Kubota diesel configuration with roll-out deck extension and non-marking foam-filled tyres; the bi-energy variant appears far less often. Asking prices spread surprisingly wide for machines of similar vintage, so hours, outrigger and scissor-stack condition, and documented inspection history drive value more than build date. Freshly serviced units with complete logbooks command the top of the band.

What a Snorkel S2255RT is used for

The Snorkel S2255RT is a rough-terrain four-wheel-drive scissor lift with levelling outriggers for work at height on sloping or uneven sites.

  • External building maintenance and construction
  • Work on graded, sloping or uneven ground (levelling outriggers)
  • Cladding, facade and services access
  • General outdoor access at height

What Moves the Price

Adds the most

In-date major inspection

EWPs need a ten-year major inspection in Australia. A unit with the inspection done and stickered is worth visibly more than one that is due.

Clear premium

Battery condition

Electric slab scissors live and die by their batteries. A fresh battery set with a healthy charger reads as years of trouble-free hire.

The floor

Ex-rental fleet churn

Big fleet sell-offs set the floor of the market. Privately owned, lightly used units recover a clear margin over fleet-liquidation pricing.

Priced off the top

Decals & compliance

Missing safety decals, worn guardrails and an out-of-date logbook all say deferred maintenance — buyers price the recommissioning first.

S2255RT Price FAQ

How much is a used Snorkel S2255RT worth in Australia?
HeavyBook's indicative used-price estimate spans $9,000–$39,000, with $20,000 as the 8-year mid-life reference. The low and high points use 14-year and 3-year reference ages. This is modelled from a sourced new price and a declared category depreciation curve — not verified sold data. Age, hours, condition, attachments and location can move a real machine outside the band.
Is this estimate based on real sold prices?
No. It is a transparent modelled reference while verified sold-price data is unavailable. HeavyBook keeps it visually separate from market ranges, publishes the assumptions, and never uses it as an offer, valuation or sample-sized market figure.
What is a Snorkel S2255RT used for?
The Snorkel S2255RT is a rough-terrain four-wheel-drive scissor lift with levelling outriggers for work at height on sloping or uneven sites.
How much can a Snorkel S2255RT lift?
The Snorkel S2255RT has a rated capacity of 420 kg (SWL).
How high does a Snorkel S2255RT reach?
The Snorkel S2255RT has a platform height of 6.5 m.
How much is a new Snorkel S2255RT?
A new Snorkel S2255RT is around $59,950 ex-GST (Indicative new price for the current Snorkel S2255RT, ex-GST. Trailer optional; configurations vary.). Used examples list for less; HeavyBook's equipment finance calculator estimates the monthly repayment on either.
Where do used Snorkel S2255RTs sell in Australia?
Narrow rough-terrain scissors are a small niche, and this one is bought for a single reason — it gets through site access a wider machine cannot, then levels itself once it is in there. Used stock is mostly late-model ex-fleet, offered across the eastern states and in South Australia, and it is remarkably uniform: standard Kubota diesel, roll-out deck, foam-filled non-marking tyres, with the bi-energy variant a rarity locally. Even so, asking prices for machines of similar vintage sit surprisingly far apart, and the ones commanding the top of the band are simply those with the service work done and the logbooks to prove it.
What makes one S2255RT worth more than another?
Compliance is the big one: a scissor lift with its ten-year major inspection done and an honest logbook is worth visibly more. Battery condition drives electric models, and ex-rental fleet sell-offs set the floor of the market.

Buying a Snorkel S2255RT

What to check before you buy

  • Self-levelling outrigger operation, which is the machine's whole point
  • Scissor stack condition and pin wear
  • Foam-filled tyre condition, expensive to replace
  • Kubota diesel service history and hours against observed wear
  • Documented inspection history, which separates the top of this market from the rest
  • Whether it is the standard diesel or the uncommon bi-energy build

Check it is not encumbered

A search shows whether someone else has registered a security interest over the machine — a financier who can repossess it after you have paid the seller — and whether it has been reported stolen or written off. It does not tell you what is owed, and it is not a valuation.

Scissor lifts are slow-travel machines that generally fall outside the motor-vehicle definition. Search against the seller rather than the machine: an individual by name and date of birth, or a business by its ACN.

Search the Personal Property Securities Register. The register publishes a case study on buying heavy construction equipment privately.
