What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machine which is utilized in numerous applications from electrical repair to construction. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights much efficient and safer.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are a different term for articulating boom lifts. These equipment 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 which enable the articulating lifts to reach over things and outwards and also upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height which ranges from forty six to 86 feet. Unlike 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 that are able to be reached with it.
Advantages
The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around objects and obstacles. These lifts are convenient for indoor application, available in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These particular kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
