CareLift Equipment has been designing and building quality rough terrain forklifts since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to help their customers reach their objectives and deliver value since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These models are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Normally, these units are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the great alternative for tasks that 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 is able to be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise not accessible. These lift models carry out jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost like 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 variety of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work environment.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Proper training is required prior to operating boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing lots of man power to be carried out in a lot less time. These equipment have revolutionized the material handling industry and have greatly increased productivity.
