When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These machinery could reach high places that are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the hard to access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the machine to travel in various directions. Like for example, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift is able to easily reach over large 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 use boom lifts regularly.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide various models for boom lifts. These machines are additionally offered for short-term use from companies 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 offer 2 various fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For applications in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
