What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machine that is used in a many different applications from electrical repair to construction. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term for articulating boom lifts. These equipment are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific 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 objects and outwards and also upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Both telescoping or straight 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 which are able to be reached with it.
Advantages
The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it could negotiate around objects and obstacles. These lifts are offered in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor use. These particular kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
