Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machines can reach high areas that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift could easily reach over huge obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are usually used by window fitters and construction crews 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 utilize boom lifts on a regular basis.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide different models for boom lifts. These machines are additionally available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are mostly utilized on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel alternatives. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in tight places, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
