Skyjack Articulating Boom Lifts Tucson

What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?

The articulated boom lift is a heavy duty machinery capable of performing numerous jobs from electrical repair to construction applications. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much safer and efficient.



Height

Knuckle boom lifts are another term for articulating boom lifts. These machinery can reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.



Design

Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that allow the articulating lifts to reach over things and outwards in addition to upwards.



Telescoping vs. Articulating

Both telescoping or straight boom lifts can work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas which can be reached with it.



Advantages

The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it can negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are offered in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor application. These specific kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.



SJ 46AJ

The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for utilizing many of their dependable and effective design features. The SJ 46AJ provides an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation which is standard equipped. Due to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight spaces, this model offers zero tail swing as well.



Skyjack is popular for its positive traction for extreme terrains. Many of their machinery offer axle based 4WD. These machines are known for having a rugged and reliable drive train and proven low maintenance. Additionally, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential unlock and lock switch. This allows the operator to lock the rear differential when traveling on rough ground.
