Kinds of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the industry and the function, man lifts are offered in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These machines are great for a variety of applications. For example there are outdoor lifts which are capable of rising more than 140 feet and offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet. As well, there are smaller models which could extend 21 feet horizontally and extend 36 feet.
Electric powered man lifts are normally used on concrete slabs indoors. These equipment tend to have slim body designs that allow them to work in narrow spaces. Typically, engine-powered man lifts are mostly designed for outdoor work and run on propane, diesel and gas.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal choice for indoor use, as they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes that could maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These models are capable of easily maneuvering and fitting into tight areas. They could reach overhead work areas.
There are certain electrical lifts that have a platform which could rotate to enable for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made specifically for more accuracy and maneuverability. The electric lifts are available in lots of sizes for using in areas with high ceilings and in small warehouses or similar settings. The electric drive can operate on rechargeable batteries that are typically recharged overnight and afterward could be used in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many kinds of terrain. Some kinds of these lifts are fitted with legs which are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a a platform which is highly stable. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on rough and uneven ground.
