CareLift Equipment has been engineering and making excellent rough terrain forklifts ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help all their customers reach their objectives and deliver value because they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
Boom lifts come in 2 general kinds, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. These units are normally hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the great alternative for jobs which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a very versatile equipment. These models come in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise not accessible. These lift units carry out tasks which straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects in the work site.
In order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended, some heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary prior to operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs requiring lots of man hours to be completed in a lot less time. These machines have revolutionized the material handling business and have really increased productivity.
