Terex Knuckle Boom Lifts San Antonio

Telescoping Boom Lifts

Telescopic booms are big industrial equipment designed with a straight boom arm which is extendable. The boom is normally located on a rotating turntable. The telescoping boom lifts are normally used for jobs which require tasks to be done at heights that exceed other kinds of lifts. For example, employees could perform exterior repairs or renovations on buildings of medium height but utilizing these lifts instead of having the additional work of setting up a pulley system or an outside elevator.



The boom lift is only designed to hold one person. These buckets are more suited to specific jobs like for example electrical repair, rather than general maintenance or window washing. These lifts are available in gas or electric configurations and are offered with both outdoor and indoor tires.



Scissor Lifts

Under the scissor lifts work platform are the cross braces in which the equipment gets its name. Once the braces move together it pushes the platform straight up. Because these types of machines must be positioned directly beneath the work site, compared to boom lifts, these units are way more limited in their use.



Scissor lifts do, on the other hand, offer bigger platforms which enable the operator controlling the lift to access a bigger work surface once the lift is raised. With scissor lifts, all-terrain capability is less of an issue with these kinds of equipment, because they must sit on flat ground in order to be used. Scissor lifts are ideal for being used for cladding or window installation, because they provide the workers with the desired mobility; they are also a good choice for window cleaning applications or exterior repairs.



Boom Trucks vs. Cranes

Cherry pickers, boom trucks and bucket trucks each refer to the class a kind of utility vehicle used particularly for vertical work. Typically, these trucks have a cab. It is here where the operator sits and controls the machine. There is a bucket for where the worker could stand in addition to an actuator arm for raising the boom and a winch for lifting.



Cherry pickers can lift personnel up to heights that were previously inaccessible. The cranes function is to raise both heavy supplies and equipment for one place to another. There are a variety of different crane types that can carry out various purposes. Both of these different types of equipment excel at different tasks and are great for particular applications and accomplishing certain tasks.
