When reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment, articulating man lifts are the ideal option. These equipment can reach high areas which are not accessed easily by a straight or telescopic boom lift.
What Precisely Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
An articulated boom lift or a cherry picker is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the hard to access, elevated areas above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel that is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various components of the articulated boom allow it to travel in different directions. For instance, a boom lift could travel 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
Construction crews and window fitters 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 regularly utilize boom lifts.
