Articulating man lifts are the ideal option when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated places 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 that can easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Construction crews and window fitters utilize boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters regularly use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing a wide variety of models. These equipment are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. 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 offer 2 different fuel options. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For applications in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
