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