Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machinery can reach elevated places which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift could travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can just travel vertically. The boom lift is able to 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
Boom lifts are normally utilized by construction crews and window fitters who require a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters use boom lifts regularly.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing various models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are mostly utilized on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 different fuel options. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
