Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, since 1962. Each day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their goals as they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
Boom lifts come in 2 general types, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. Both these units are often hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These models come in gas, diesel or propane configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift models carry out jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are practically like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work environment.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required prior to utilizing boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to need a lot more man power to be completed in a much shorter time period. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling business.
