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