Kinds of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the function and the industry, man lifts are offered in a variety of engine-powered and electric powered models. These machinery are suitable for various applications. For example there are outdoor lifts which offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet and are capable of rising over 140 feet. Also, there are smaller types of man lifts that could extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Generally, electric powered man lifts are utilized on concrete slabs indoors and have slim body designs in order to access narrow spaces. Typically, engine-powered man lifts are mostly designed for outdoor work and operate on propane, diesel and gas.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal alternative for indoor use, since they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes able to maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These kinds of man lifts are capable of maneuvering and fitting into tight spaces easily. They are capable of reaching overhead work areas.
There are several electrical lifts which have a platform able to rotate to allow for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made particularly for more maneuverability and accuracy. The electric lifts are offered in many sizes for using in small warehouses or similar settings and in areas with high ceilings. The electric drive can work on rechargeable batteries which are normally recharged overnight and afterward are ready to go in the morning.
The engine powered articulating lifts can be utilized on a wider variety of terrains. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs which could lift the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a very stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on grounds that are uneven and rough.
