Articulating man lifts are the ideal choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery could reach elevated positions that are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift that is utilized to reach the hard to access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the equipment to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which 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 utilize boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making various models. These machines are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are mostly used on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various 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.
