Ahern Australia was formally known as Snorkel Australia. Snorkel was founded in 1959 in the United States of America, as a fire equipment company which developed an elevated work platform specifically designed for aerial firefighting and rescue work.

These products set the standard for aerial firefighting equipment, which were proven for reliability and versatility, and created the foundations for the elevating work platform market as we know it today. Snorkel was one of the founding members of the global EWP industry.
