Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the function and the industry, man lifts are available in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These machines are great for a variety of applications. Like for instance there are outdoor lifts which are capable of rising over 140 feet and provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Furthermore, there are smaller models that can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are generally used on concrete slabs indoors. These machinery tend to have slim body designs that enable them to work in narrow areas. Usually, engine-powered man lifts are mainly used for outdoor work and operate on gas, propane and diesel.
Electric Man Lifts
Since they do not provide any fumes and come in small enough sizes to maneuver around blockages and barriers and fit through standard-sized doorways, electric man lifts are an excellent alternative for indoor applications. These models are capable of fitting and maneuvering into tight spaces easily. They can reach overhead work areas.
Some electric lifts have a rotating platform that is specially for targeted maneuvers and provides precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate efficiency and maneuverability. The electric lifts are offered in a lot of sizes for using inside small warehouses or similar environments and in areas with high ceilings. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries that are normally recharged overnight and then can be used in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many kinds of terrain. Several types of these lifts are fitted with legs which could lift the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a a platform which is highly stable. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on rough and uneven ground.
