Articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These equipment are capable of reaching elevated positions that are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic 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, elevated 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 enable the equipment to travel in various directions. For example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift can 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
Construction crews and window fitters use boom lifts for is stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters regularly utilize boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing various models. These machinery are sometimes available for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mostly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers 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 areas, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
