When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, equipment and machinery, articulating man lifts are the ideal choice. These machines could reach elevated positions that are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
An articulated boom lift or a cherry picker is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the hard to access, high areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom enable it to travel in various directions. Like for instance, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which 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
Window fitters and construction crews use boom lifts for is stable and strong platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
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 machines. Electric Man lifts are mainly used on slab and indoor applications. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel alternatives. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For applications in tight places, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
