Articulating man lifts are the perfect choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery are capable of reaching elevated areas which are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.
What Exactly Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
A cherry picker or an articulated boom lift is a hydraulically powered lift which is utilized to reach the difficult to access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The various parts of the articulated boom enable it to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which can just travel vertically. The boom lift can easily reach over huge obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is supported by and attached to a grounded vehicle.
Use
Boom lifts are often used by window fitters and construction crews who require a stable and strong platform on which to stand when completing work on the outside of a building. Lamppost engineers and tree surgeons as well as firefighters frequently use boom lifts.

Specialty lift manufacturers provide a variety of models for boom lifts. These machinery are additionally offered for short-term use from businesses who rent industrial machines. Electric Man lifts are used mainly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design provides easy access in tight places. The Engine-Drive Man lifts offer 2 different fuel options.
