Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help their customers reach their goals and deliver value as they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Often, these models are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great alternative for jobs that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These units are available in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise unaccessible. These lift models perform tasks that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom 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 around any objects easily in the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required prior to operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing a lot of man power to be carried out in a lot less time. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
