When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal alternative. These machinery could reach elevated places that 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 could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components allow the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Window fitters and construction crews utilize boom lifts for is stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters frequently use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing a wide variety of models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are utilized mainly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
