When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated areas that are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the equipment to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that could only travel vertically. The boom lift can easily reach over huge 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 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 utilize boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing different models. These equipment are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
