What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machinery which is utilized in numerous applications from construction to electrical repair. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights much efficient and safer.
Height
Articulating booms are also referred to as knuckle boom lifts. These machinery are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.
Design
The articulating boom has a huge boom or arm with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things and also upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height that ranges from forty six to eighty six feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas which could be reached with it.
Advantages
The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are available in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor use. These particular types of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
