An articulating boom lift is an industrial machinery which is used in a many different applications from electrical repair to construction. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term used for articulating boom lifts. These machinery could reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that allow the articulating lifts to reach over things and outwards and also upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Straight or telescoping boom lifts have a working height which ranges from forty six to eighty six feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that are able to be reached with it.
