Articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery can reach high positions that are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The cherry picker or articulated boom lift is hydraulically powered lift which could easily access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the driver from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The different components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, that only has vertical travel capability. The boom lift is able to easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are often used by window fitters and construction crews who need a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters use boom lifts regularly.
