Articulating man lifts are the ideal choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machines are capable of reaching high positions which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift which is used to reach the difficult to access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the machine to travel in various directions. Like for instance, a boom lift could travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift can 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
Window fitters and construction crews use 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 utilize boom lifts on a regular basis.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide different models for boom lifts. These equipment are also available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
