When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. These machines could reach elevated areas that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the machine to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift could travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can just travel vertically. The boom lift is able to 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
Construction crews and window fitters use boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters regularly use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing a wide variety of models. These machinery are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel alternatives. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
