Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending upon the function and the industry, man lifts are available in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These machines are suitable for various applications. Like for example there are lifts designed for outdoor applications which are capable of rising more than 140 feet and offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Moreover, there are smaller kinds of man lifts which can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are generally used on concrete slabs indoors. These machines tend to have slim body designs that allow them to work in narrow spaces. Typically, engine-powered man lifts are mainly used for outdoor applications and operate on diesel, gas and propane.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal choice for indoor applications, because they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes that could maneuver them around blockages and barriers to fit through standard-sized doorways. These kinds of man lifts are capable of fitting and maneuvering into tight spaces easily. They could reach overhead work areas.
Certain electric lifts have a rotating platform which is specially for targeted maneuvers and offers precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate maneuverability and efficiency. The electric lifts are offered in numerous sizes for using in places with high ceilings and in small warehouses or similar environments. The electric drive could work on rechargeable batteries which are usually recharged overnight and then are ready to go in the morning.
The engine powered articulating lifts could be used on a wider variety of terrains. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs which are capable of hoisting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a very stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be used on rough and uneven ground.
