When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect option. These machinery can reach high places 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 can easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom enable it 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 only travel vertically. The boom lift is able to 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 used by window fitters and construction crews who need 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 use boom lifts frequently.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making a wide variety of models. These machines are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are utilized mainly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel options. These include diesel fuel and gas and propane duel fuel options. For use in congested places, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
