Greater horizontal outreach could be obtained utilizing telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These types of machinery are great for locations which provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the capacity of the machine.
Telescopic booms are very productive on the worksite as they offer the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job done. Although the equipment are made huge enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in tight spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain units enable the rough jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Additionally, several particular models provide extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine alternatives offered on the market also.
Lift Options
Choosing the right lift to meet all their requirements would enable operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Moreover, customizing the chosen lift will help ensure that workers get the particular machine they truly need for projects.
Normally, lifts have a variety of platform options, starting with the platform size. Operators may need to choose from steel platforms ranging in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of platform accessories available to help customize the lift for its specific use. Platform accessories could comprise the following things: fluorescent tube caddy, half-height mesh, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, work lights, welder leads and tool tray.
On the market these days there are a lot of available options and attachments. Businesses are attempting to diversify their machinery as much as they can in order to meet all their various customer needs. It is truly worth the research to know what particular options your telescopic boom lift could use.
