Manitou Aerial Lifts Arlington

Many workplace applications would require more reach than the average job. The telescopic and articulating booms is a good alternative for these specific instances. Engine-powered or bi-energy or electric booms are ideal for indoor, rough terrain or outdoor use, so technically, there is a suitable boom lift available for every kind of job. Simply take the time to figure out what kind of loads you would be dealing with and what kinds of capacities you will require to get the job done.



As aerial work platforms, the articulating booms utilize many boom parts which articulate or hinge. These machines offer a maximum reach of 21 feet 5 inches or 6.25 meters to 21.26 meters or 69 feet 9 inches. These units can vary in height between 11.14 meters and 36 feet or 43.15 meters or 141 feet. Articulated boom units are often classified by horizontal reach and by platform height.



In order to access work places over barriers and obstacles like equipment or shelving, the articulating booms are often utilized. They have less horizontal outreach compared to telescopic booms, but the articulating booms provide better positioning and greater versatility. This allows better access for overhead work areas from congested areas and from aisles. Throughout the range of articulating booms, most of them can hold weight capacities of as much as 227 kg or 500 lbs. These equipment can easily lift 2 operators and their tools and at times extra materials.



Like scissor lifts, the industrial and rough terrain articulating booms are usually outfitted with non-marking tires and are intended for indoor application. The majority of articulated boom manufacturers utilize clean burning fuels such as DC electric power or liquid propane gas or LPG for their industrial units. AC drive system technology is common in industrial forklifts, though it is new to the aerial work platforms market. This technology combines 3-phase AC drive motors with DC batteries for more continuous control of turning, drive speed and braking and overall energy efficient operation.



Rough-terrain models are specially designed to negotiate rugged construction site locations. With features such as lug-tread tires, diesel engines, an oscillating axle and 4-wheel drive, these specialized items are common-place on rough-terrain articulating booms. These heavy-duty add-ons are what make these machines able to withstand the rough environments they work in.
