Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help their customers reach their goals since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general types, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. These units are usually hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile machine. These models come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as propane, gas or diesel configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs which require to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are used for tasks that are not easily completed by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects within the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required prior to operating boom lifts so as to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to need a lot more man hours to be completed in a much shorter time period. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
