Articulating man lifts are the ideal alternative when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery can reach high positions that are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the machine to travel in various directions. Like for instance, a boom lift could travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift can easily reach over huge obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are often used by window fitters and construction crews who require a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently use boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide a variety of models for boom lifts. These equipment are additionally available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
