Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the industry and the function, man lifts are available in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These machinery are great for various uses. Like for example there are outdoor lifts that are capable of rising more than 140 feet and offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet. As well, there are smaller types of man lifts which can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are normally used on concrete slabs indoors. These machinery tend to have slim body designs that allow them to work in narrow areas. Normally, engine-powered man lifts are mostly used for outdoor applications and operate on propane, diesel and gas.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal alternative for indoor applications, since they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes able to maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These types of man lifts are capable of fitting and maneuvering into tight spaces easily. They can reach overhead work areas.
There are several electrical lifts which have a platform that could rotate to allow for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made specifically for more maneuverability and accuracy. The electric lifts are available in many sizes for utilizing in places with high ceilings and in small warehouses or similar settings. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries that are typically recharged overnight and afterward are ready to go in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many types of terrain. Several kinds of these lifts are fitted with legs which are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a highly stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on grounds that are rough and uneven.
