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