What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial equipment which is used in numerous applications from electrical repair to construction. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot efficient and safer.
Height
Articulating booms are also known as knuckle boom lifts. These machines can reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects and also upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height which ranges from forty six to eighty six feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that could be reached with it.
Advantages
The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are offered in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor application. These specific kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
