When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect option. These equipment are capable of reaching high positions that 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 which is used to reach the hard to access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The different components of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift could travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can just travel vertically. The boom lift can 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
Construction crews and window fitters utilize boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making a wide variety of models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mainly utilized on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
