Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to help their customers reach their objectives and deliver value since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts come in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. These units are normally powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the ideal choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be raised vertically to below horizontal. As the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a very versatile machinery. These models come in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units perform tasks that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects within the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is required prior to utilizing boom lifts so as to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks that used to require a lot more man power to be completed in a much shorter time period. These machines have revolutionized the material handling industry and have greatly increased production.
