When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect option. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated areas which are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift which could easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift can travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which could only travel vertically. The boom lift can 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 often used by window fitters and construction crews who require a strong and stable platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters frequently use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing various models. These machinery are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
