CareLift Equipment has been engineering and building quality rough terrain forklifts ever since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to help their customers reach their objectives and deliver value because they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These models are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Often, these units are powered hydraulically. Most commonly straight booms are the great choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Since the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs that require to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for jobs which are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work environment.
To be able to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before using boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing a lot of man power to be carried out in much less time. These machinery have revolutionized the material handling industry and have greatly increased production.
