When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the ideal choice. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated places which 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 which could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the machinery to travel in various directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift is able to easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are normally used by construction crews and window fitters who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide various models for boom lifts. These equipment are additionally available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on indoor applications and slab. 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 amazing maneuverability.
