What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
The articulated boom lift is a heavy duty machine capable of performing numerous jobs from construction applications to electrical repair. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term utilized for articulating boom lifts. These machines could 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 enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things in addition to upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Both straight or telescoping boom lifts can work at heights from 46 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 that are able to 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 use, available in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These specific types of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
