What Exactly Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
The articulated boom lift is a heavy duty equipment capable of performing a wide variety of jobs from electrical repair to construction applications. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot efficient and safer.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term for articulating boom lifts. These equipment are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with many bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things in addition to upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height that ranges from forty six to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that can be reached with it.
Advantages
The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it could negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are convenient for indoor use, available in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These particular kinds of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.
