Terex Knuckle Boom Lifts Arlington

Telescoping Boom Lifts

Telescopic booms are big industrial equipment designed with a straight boom arm which is extendable. The boom is normally situated on a rotating turntable. The telescoping boom lifts are normally used for jobs that need tasks to be carried out at heights which exceed other kinds of lifts. For example, employees are able to carry out exterior renovations or repairs on medium sized buildings but utilizing these lifts rather than having the extra work of setting up an outside elevator or a pulley system.



The boom lift is only designed to hold a single individual. These buckets are better suited to specific jobs such as electrical repair, as opposed to general maintenance or window washing. These lifts are available in gas or electric configurations and are available with both outdoor and indoor tires.



Scissor Lifts

Below the scissor lifts work platform are the cross braces in which the machinery gets its name. When the braces move together it pushes the platform straight up. Since these equipment should be positioned directly below the work location, these units are way more limited in their use compared to boom lifts.



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



Boom Trucks vs. Cranes

The cherry picker or boom truck refers to the utility vehicle usually utilized to raise employees for various tasks done at heights. Typically, these trucks have a cab. It is here where the operator sits and controls the machinery. There is a bucket for where the worker can stand as well as a winch for carrying and an actuator arm for lifting the boom.



Boom trucks take personnel to heights which would usually be inaccessible. The function of cranes is to raise heavy materials or equipment from one place to another. There are different types of cranes which can perform a variety of purposes. Both of these different types of machinery excel at various tasks and are suitable for particular applications and accomplishing particular tasks.
