Greater horizontal outreach can be acquired using telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These types of machines are excellent for locations that offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification usually includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the capacity of the machinery.
Because they offer the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job done, telescopic booms have been really productive on the worksite. Though the machinery are built really huge to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain units allow the rough jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Moreover, several particular models provide extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine options offered on the market as well.
Lift Options
Picking the best lift to meet all their needs will enable operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Furthermore, customizing the chosen lift would help ensure that workers get the specific machine they truly need for projects.
Starting with the platform size, lifts would have a wide range of platform options. Steel platforms could range in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of available platform accessories to help customize the lift for its specific application. Platform accessories may comprise the following items: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, control box cover, auxiliary top railing, welder leads, tool tray and work lights.
On the market today there are a lot of available attachments and options. Businesses are attempting to diversify their machinery as much as they could in order to meet their many different customer requirements. It is really worth the research to find out what specific options your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of using.
