Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated areas which are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift which can easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can only travel vertically. The boom lift is able to 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
Construction crews and window fitters utilize boom lifts for is stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters regularly use boom lifts.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers producing various models. These equipment are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are mainly utilized on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 different fuel alternatives. These include gas and propane duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
