Boom Lift Tips

A great device to reach high locations from the comfort of a metal deck could be accomplished using an aerial boom. There are a variety of sizes and styles and models to select from. These types of lifts can operate on diesel or gasoline engines and also from electrical batteries. Boom lifts are particularly able to lift occupants as high as 150 feet. In order to utilize these lifts safely, the operator would be required to wear approved harnesses that are attached to the lifting platform.



How High Do I Need to Go?

Prior to choosing a lift, it is wise to assess the job you will be performing. If able, measure the height form the ground to the work location. Prior to starting, scout out the location which the lift would be moving as uneven terrain would utilize another boom lift as opposed to a work area on asphalt or concrete. The job site is also very appointment. Lifts which would be traveling a lot will provide better service if they are diesel or gas powered. The battery powered models should be recharged more frequently since they would run down fast after great distances are traveled, despite the differences in terrain.



Prior to starting a task, make certain you are familiar with operating the equipment. Furthermore, complete a daily check by inspecting all the components and perform a visual check around the machinery. Check the tires and make sure that they are well inflated to the right pressure. Visually inspect beneath the lift to be sure that noting is caught on the undercarriage. Safety checks can be the difference between keeping the operator and people around them safe.
