Articulating man lifts are the ideal choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These equipment can reach high areas that are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the equipment to travel in different 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 is able to easily reach over big 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 use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing a wide variety of models. These machines are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel options. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
