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