Snorkel Electric Boom Lift San Antonio

Types of Man Lifts

Scissor man lifts are made to vertically hoist workers to higher places. They are often seen in the construction industry in order to transport or lift employees form one location to another. Man lifts are power-driven and offer special handholds and steps or platforms to provide safe transport. The type of construction work being performed will decide exactly what type of man lift will be utilized in a project.



Electrically Insulated Man Lifts

According to Man and Material Lift Engineering, the man lift most preferred for working in close proximity to electrocution hazards are electrically insulated man lifts. The electrically insulated man lifts offer protection to personnel against accidental electrocution. These kind of machines follow the American National Standards Institute A92.2 Category C, 46kV Rated. These electrically insulated man lifts provide fiberglass insulated booms, fiber optic control cables and are operated on nonconductive hydraulic hoses which serve to reduce ground error.



Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift is a unique machine capable of transporting employees vertically to hard-to-reach areas. The scissor lift derived its name because of the scissor type of design of the folding supports which serve to lower and raise the platform. To be able to hoist the lift, each and every one of the folding supports is opened in order to extend the platform to higher heights.



The scissor lift would either be powered hydraulically or manually. The hydraulic powered system does not rely on power, however enables the scissor lifts to descend with just a release of hydraulic pressure. Because the possibility of mechanical malfunctions preventing the platform from abruptly descending to the ground is eliminated, at the end of the day, hydraulic systems make safer scissor lifts.



Capacity

The man lift has a large range of weight capacities, with certain man lifts capable of holding a lot of individuals, while some models could only hold a single individual. Platform lifts and scissor lifts are more beneficial for transporting many people, since boom lifts have less space located in their bucket.
