The Benefits of a Man Lift
For areas that are too high to reach by any other ways, man lifts provide a safe and easy method to fix problems. These are mechanical lifts which allow personnel to safely reach an elevated work location. Usually, man lifts are utilized by construction and service personnel to perform work on buildings, light poles and other places that are very up high to reach by other ways.
Safety
Taking safety into consideration is the major factor when operating a man lift. Ladders are not a practical alternative for extreme heights and thus man lifts are the perfect option for these kinds of areas. The majority of these machinery are equipped with safety rails and emergency shut-off switches to make worker safety a top priority.
Range
Man lifts can reach certain heights that other machinery cannot reach. This machinery was initially used to pick fruit, but has evolved to take on other tasks. For example, they are usually utilized for changing light bulbs and to do finishing work in the construction business. Usually, man lifts are capable of reaching heights of approximately 20 to 100 feet.
Some man lift models are small enough to be brought indoors in order to raise personnel to complete finishing structures in places such as big office buildings, hotels and sports arenas. They could be powered with electricity. This eliminates the noxious fumes and the hazards associated with them.
Engine-Powered Boom Lifts
An engine-powered boom lift is the solution for employees who have to reach heights both efficiently and quickly. The boom lift allows for a much mobility, capable of moving in numerous directions. Boom lifts could easily fit between narrow spaces too. Every "joint" in the boom lift is controlled to adjust to various heights to be able to place the worker exactly where she or he should be in order to get the task completed. The engine power system is what enables boom lifts to reach their full elevation quickly. Firefighters often utilize engine powered boom lifts when there are on a rescue mission and need to rapidly ascend to heights.
