Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts and aerial platforms enable employees to work on elevated structures since they can get to a lot of things and structures. These lifts offer friendly user controls which enable to operate the the platform independently from the base. This allows the machine to access things. There are many lift designs available which are suitable for particular settings and applications.
Scissor Lift
The scissor lift uses a series of crisscrossed connected steel arms. These arms are designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Employees utilize a large rectangle platform which is attached to the top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
The scissor lift features a low profile that is ideal for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete. These machinery use either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the lift and the lifting mechanism.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts make use of the same technology as the standard kind of scissor lift. The rough terrain unit varies in that it features a specialized base that is designed for surfaces which are uneven. The rough terrain additionally offers a higher ground clearance and all terrain oversized tires. These units provide lower lifting heights overall because of the machine's higher center of gravity.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift offers a beam that rises both diagonally and vertically. To operate the boom, the equipment has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls make use of an IC or a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
Articulating booms have two telescopic booms attached together with a moving elbow. This lifting machinery offers a small work platform or a bucket outfitted with hand controls which are used to control the boom. The articulating lift is capable of reaching over things and on top of buildings.
