What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machinery which is utilized in a many different applications from construction to electrical repair. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much efficient and safer.
Height
Articulating booms are also known as knuckle boom lifts. These machines can reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that allow the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects as well as upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Straight or telescoping boom lifts have a working height that ranges from forty six to 86 feet. Not like 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 are able to be reached with it.
Advantages
The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it can negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are convenient for indoor application, offered in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These specific kinds of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.
