What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial equipment which is used in numerous applications from construction to electrical repair. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot safer and efficient.
Height
Articulating booms are also called knuckle boom lifts. These machines are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with many bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that allow the articulating lifts to reach over things and outwards as well as upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Straight or telescoping boom lifts have a working height which ranges from forty six to eighty six feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that 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 convenient for indoor application, available in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These specific kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
