When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated areas which are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that can easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The different parts of the articulated boom allow it to travel in various directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift is able to easily reach over large obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Window fitters and construction crews use boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters use boom lifts frequently.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making different models. These equipment are sometimes offered for short-term use from companies who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 various fuel alternatives. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in tight places, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
