Articulating man lifts are the ideal alternative when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machines could reach elevated areas 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 which can easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The different parts of the articulated boom enable 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 only travel vertically. The boom lift can easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are usually utilized by window fitters and construction crews who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters regularly utilize boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer various models for boom lifts. These equipment are additionally available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel options. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in congested places, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
