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 that are not easily accessed by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the hard to access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts allow the machinery to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which could only travel vertically. 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 strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts on a regular basis.
Availability
