When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated 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 which could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The different components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift can 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
Window fitters and construction crews use 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 use boom lifts frequently.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide a variety of models for boom lifts. These equipment are additionally available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are mostly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For applications in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
