When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the ideal choice. These equipment could reach elevated positions which are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift can easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Window fitters and construction crews 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 use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing a wide variety of models. These machines are sometimes offered for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel options. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in congested places, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
