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