Telescoping Boom Lifts
Telescopic booms are big industrial machinery designed with a straight boom arm that is extendable. The boom is usually located on a rotating turntable. The telescoping boom lifts are typically utilized for jobs which need tasks to be carried out at heights that exceed other types of lifts. For instance, employees are able to perform exterior renovations or repairs on buildings of medium height but utilizing these lifts rather than having the extra work of setting up an outside elevator or a pulley system.
The bucket of the boom lift usually just holds one worker. These buckets are more suitable to specific tasks like for example electrical repair, as opposed to window washing or general maintenance. These lifts are available with both indoor and outdoor tires and come in gas or electric configurations.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are named for the cross-braces beneath the work platform. These braces squeeze together to be able to push the platform straight up. As these equipment must be directly positioned beneath the work location, compared to boom lifts, these units are way more limited in their use.
Scissor lifts do, on the other hand, offer larger platforms which allow the operator controlling the lift to access a larger work surface when the lift is raised. With scissor lifts, all-terrain capability is less of an issue with these models, since they need to sit on flat ground in order to be used. Scissor lifts are great for being utilized for window installation or cladding, since they provide the employees with the desired mobility; they are also a good option for exterior repairs or window cleaning applications.
Boom Trucks vs. Cranes
Bucket trucks, cherry pickers and boom trucks each refer to the class a kind of utility vehicle used specifically for vertical work. Typically, these trucks have a cab. It is here where the operator sits and controls the machinery. There is a bucket for where the worker could stand as well as an actuator arm for lifting the boom and a winch for lifting.
Cherry pickers could raise personnel up to heights which were previously inaccessible. The cranes function is to lift both heavy materials and equipment for one location to another. There are various kinds of cranes which could perform various purposes. Both of these different kinds of equipment excel at different jobs and are suitable for particular applications and finishing particular tasks.
