Articulating man lifts are the perfect option when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These equipment could reach high positions which are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Exactly 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 which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the equipment to travel in various directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift can 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
Window fitters and construction crews utilize boom lifts for is stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts frequently.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer different models for boom lifts. These machinery are also available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly utilized on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 different fuel choices. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For applications in tight places, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
