What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machinery which is used in various applications from electrical repair to construction. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term utilized for articulating boom lifts. These equipment could reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
The articulating boom has a big boom or arm with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects and also upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Straight or telescoping boom lifts have a working height that ranges from 46 to 86 feet. Unlike 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 which can be reached with it.
Advantages
The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it can negotiate around objects and obstacles. 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.
