When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. These machinery could reach high positions which 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, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components allow the machine to travel in various directions. Like for example, a boom lift could travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift is able to 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 utilized by construction crews and window fitters who require a strong and stable platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters regularly utilize boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer a variety of models for boom lifts. These equipment are also available for short-term use from companies 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 different fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
