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