Articulating man lifts are the perfect option when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machinery are capable of reaching high places which are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The different parts of the articulated boom allow it to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which could just travel vertically. 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
Boom lifts are usually used by construction crews and window fitters who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts frequently.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide different models for boom lifts. These machines are also offered for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mostly utilized on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel choices. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
