When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These machinery are capable of reaching high areas that are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that can easily access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. For example, a boom lift could travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that could just travel vertically. The boom lift could easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are normally utilized by construction crews and window fitters who need a strong and stable platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters use boom lifts frequently.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer a variety of models for boom lifts. These machines are additionally available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are utilized mainly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 different fuel options. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For applications in congested places, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
