When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. These equipment can reach elevated positions that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, elevated places 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 various directions. Like for example, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can just travel vertically. The boom lift is able to 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
Window fitters and construction crews utilize boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts on a regular basis.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide different models for boom lifts. These equipment are also offered for short-term use from companies who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
