When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal choice. These equipment could reach elevated positions which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the difficult to access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various parts of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift could travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can 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 often used by construction crews and window fitters who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts regularly.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer a variety of models for boom lifts. These machinery are also available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel options. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in congested places, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
