Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machinery can reach high places that are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. For example, a boom lift can travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could 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 strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters frequently use boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide different models for boom lifts. These equipment are also available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mostly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
