When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect option. These equipment can reach elevated positions which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in various directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can only travel vertically. The boom lift could 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
Boom lifts are usually utilized by window fitters and construction crews who require a strong and stable platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer different models for boom lifts. These machinery are also available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 different fuel choices. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
