Articulating man lifts are the perfect alternative when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machines could reach high places which are not easily accessed 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 used to reach the difficult to access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is located in the bucket.
Design
The different components of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. Like for instance, a boom lift could travel both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, which 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 attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Construction crews and window fitters utilize boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters use boom lifts on a regular basis.
