There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Usually, these units are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal option for jobs that require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a versatile machinery. These units come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as diesel, propane or gas configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are used for tasks which require to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for tasks which are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers so as to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required before operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing lots of man hours to be done in much less time. These machines have greatly increased production and have revolutionized the material handling business.
