Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help their consumers reach their goals and deliver value as they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Usually, these models are hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal option for jobs that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile equipment. These models are available in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as diesel, propane or gas configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs which need to reach up and over obstacles so as to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for tasks that are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects in the work site.
In order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is required before using boom lifts in order to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing many man hours to be carried out in a lot less time. These equipment have changed the material handling industry and have greatly increased productivity.
