Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to help all their consumers reach their goals and deliver value because they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general types, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. Both these models are usually powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the ideal alternative for jobs that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These models come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as diesel, propane or gas configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise not accessible. These lift units perform jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work environment.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary prior to utilizing boom lifts in order to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing many man power to be completed in a lot less time. These machinery have changed the material handling industry and have really increased production.
