a snorkel is like an arm with elbows (usualy 2 or 3 sections). can be do the "up&over" movement. an aerial is simply made of 2 or 3 sections of ladders, than can be extended. The manufacturing of snorkels has stopped (sadly). You can found some others like Snorkels: Bronto (Finland), Metz (Germany), Pierce Skyarm (USA), Rosembauer T-Rex (USA). you can found a wide range of aerials manufacturers all o ver the world.
