What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machinery which is utilized in various applications from electrical repair to construction. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much efficient and safer.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term used for articulating boom lifts. These machinery are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with many bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects as well as upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Both straight or telescoping boom lifts could work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that could be reached with it.
Advantages
The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it could negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts have zero tail swing, are convenient for indoor application and available in electrical models. These specific types of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.
