CareLift Equipment has been designing and building excellent rough terrain forklifts ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their objectives since they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Usually, these models are powered hydraulically. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal choice for jobs that require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine can rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. As the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machine. These models come in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units perform jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers in order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before utilizing boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to require many more man power to be done in a much shorter time period. These machines have greatly increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling business.
