Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These equipment are capable of reaching high areas which are not easily accessed by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the hard to access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift could travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that could just travel vertically. The boom lift is able to easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Construction crews and window fitters utilize 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 on a regular basis.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers offer different models for boom lifts. These machines are also available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing offers incredible maneuverability.
