When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative. These machines are capable of reaching elevated places which are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
An articulated boom lift or a cherry picker is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the hard to access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components allow the machinery to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift can travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can just travel vertically. The boom lift could easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are normally used by window fitters and construction crews who require a strong and stable platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts regularly.
Availability
Specialty lift manufacturers provide a variety of models for boom lifts. These machinery are also available for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing provides incredible maneuverability.
