When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These equipment could reach high areas which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various parts of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. For example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are normally used by window fitters and construction crews who require a stable and strong platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide various models for boom lifts. These machinery are additionally available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mostly utilized on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For applications in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
