Greater horizontal outreach could be attained with telescopic booms more than any other kind of aerial platform. These types of equipment are great for places that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models provide working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to identify the equipment's capacity.
Because they offer the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been very productive on the worksite. While the machinery are built very big to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within tight spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain models enable the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Additionally, some particular units provide extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine choices offered on the market as well.

Choosing the right lift to suit their needs would allow operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. What's more, customizing the chosen lift would really help make sure that workers get the particular equipment they truly need for projects.
Starting with the platform size, lifts will have a wide range of platform options. Steel platforms may range in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of platform accessories available to help modify the lift for its particular application. Platform accessories could include the following items: fluorescent tube caddy, half-height mesh, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, welder leads, tool tray and work lights.
There are so many different options and attachments available on the market today. Businesses are attempting to diversify their machinery as much as possible in order to satisfy their various customer requirements. It is really worth the research to find out what specific alternatives your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of using.
