When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated places which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The different components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in various directions. For example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift can 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
Window fitters and construction crews use boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts regularly.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making various models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
