Articulating man lifts are the ideal choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery can reach elevated places that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the difficult to access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is located in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom components enable the equipment to travel in various directions. For instance, a boom lift can travel both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift could easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are often utilized by construction crews and window fitters who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when doing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters utilize boom lifts on a regular basis.
