Telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These machinery are ideal for locations which provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom nomenclature typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the capacity of the machine.
Because they offer the traction, speed and torque required to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been really productive on the worksite. Though the machinery are made really big to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units enable the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Furthermore, some particular models offer extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are various diesel engine options offered on the market too.
Lift Options
Picking the right lift to meet their requirements would enable operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Also, customizing the chosen lift would help make sure that workers get the specific machine they truly need for projects.
Normally, lifts have a variety of platform options, starting with the platform size. Operators may have to choose from steel platforms ranging in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of available platform accessories to help modify the lift for its specific use. Platform accessories can comprise the following items: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, control box cover, auxiliary top railing, welder leads, tool tray and work lights.
On the market today there are so many available options and attachments. Companies are attempting to diversify their machines as much as they could in order to satisfy all their various customer requirements. It is truly worth the research to know what particular options your telescopic boom lift can use.
