When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. 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?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the difficult to access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the machine to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that can just travel vertically. The boom lift could easily reach over large 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 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 various models for boom lifts. These equipment are also offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial equipment. Electric Man lifts are used mostly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel options. These include diesel fuel and propane and gas duel fuel options. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing offers amazing maneuverability.
