CareLift Equipment has been engineering and making quality rough terrain forklifts since 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help their customers reach their objectives because they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These models are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these models are hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great choice for jobs which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These units come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as propane, gas or diesel configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for tasks which require to reach up and over obstacles so as to gain access. These specialized lifts are used for tasks that are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of 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 variety of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects in the work site.
In order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required before operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing many man hours to be completed in much less time. These machinery have really increased productivity and have changed the material handling business.
