When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the perfect choice. These machines can reach elevated places that are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift which could 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 enable it to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which could just travel vertically. The boom lift could easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Construction crews and window fitters use 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 regularly use boom lifts.
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 slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel options. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in congested areas, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
