Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their goals because they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Often, these units are hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal alternative for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a versatile machine. These models come in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are used for jobs that need to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are used for jobs that are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work environment.
To be able to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended, some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary prior to utilizing boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks requiring lots of man hours to be done in a lot less time. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
