CareLift Equipment has been engineering and building quality rough terrain forklifts since 1962. Each day the company strives to help their customers reach their objectives and deliver value since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts come in 2 general types, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. These units are normally hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery can rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machinery. These models come in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are used for tasks which need 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 practically 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 variety of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work site.
In order to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended, some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required prior to utilizing boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks that used to require a lot more man power to be completed in a much shorter time period. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
