Articulating man lifts are the ideal option when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery. These machines could reach elevated positions that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
An articulated boom lift or a cherry picker is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the difficult to access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The different parts of the articulated boom enable it 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, which could just travel vertically. The boom lift could 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 stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts regularly.
Availability
For boom lifts, there are specialty lift manufacturers making a wide variety of models. These equipment are sometimes offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machinery. Electric Man lifts are used mostly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in tight areas, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
