A lot of workplace applications will need more reach than the regular task. The articulating and telescopic booms is a good choice for these specific situations. Bi-energy or electric or engine-powered booms are great for indoor, rough terrain or outdoor applications, so technically, there is a suitable boom lift available for each kind of job. Simply take the time to figure out what kinds of capacities you would require to get the job done and what kind of cargo you will be dealing with.
As aerial work platforms, the articulating booms utilize multiple boom sections that hinge or articulate. These machines provide a maximum reach of 21 feet 5 inches or 6.25 meters to 21.26 meters or 69 feet 9 inches. These models could vary in height between 11.14 meters and 36 feet or 141 feet or 43.15 meters. Normally, articulated boom models are classified by platform height and by horizontal reach.
To access work places over obstacles and barriers like equipment or shelving, the articulating booms are usually used. They have less horizontal outreach compared to telescopic booms, but the articulating booms provide better positioning and greater versatility. This enables better access for overhead work areas from aisles and from congested places. Throughout the range of articulating booms, the majority of them are able to hold weight capacities of up to 500 lbs. or 227 kilograms. These equipment can easily raise 2 operators and their tools and at times extra materials.
Similar to scissor lifts, the industrial and rough terrain articulating booms are usually outfitted with non-marking tires and are intended for indoor application. The majority of articulated boom manufacturers use clean burning fuels like LPG or liquid propane gas or DC electric power for their industrial models. AC drive system technology is common in industrial forklifts, although it is new to the aerial work platforms market. This technology combines 3-phase AC drive motors together with DC batteries for more continuous control of turning, braking and drive speed and overall energy efficient operation.
Rough-terrain models are specially engineered to negotiate rugged construction site locations. With features like diesel engines, lug-tread tires, an oscillating axle and 4-wheel drive, these specialized things are common-place on rough-terrain articulating booms. These heavy-duty extras are what make these machinery able to withstand the rough settings they operate in.
