When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated areas that 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 that can easily access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the machine to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over large 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 use boom lifts regularly.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making a wide variety of models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
