Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to help all their consumers reach their goals and deliver value since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these units are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the ideal alternative for tasks which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machine. These models are available in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are used for jobs that require to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for jobs that are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects within the work environment.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers in order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is required before operating boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to require many more man hours to be done in a much shorter time period. These equipment have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling business.
