Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their goals as they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts come in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. Both these models are often powered hydraulically. Most commonly straight booms are the great option for jobs which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment can rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile machine. These units are available in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as diesel, propane or gas configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units carry out tasks which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted 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 before operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to require a lot more man hours to be done in a much shorter time period. These machines have revolutionized the material handling business and have really increased production.
