Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help all their consumers reach their objectives and deliver value since they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Normally, these models are hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great choice for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. As the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst 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 tasks that 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 ability of the boom to articulate. There are different 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 within the work environment.
In order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended, some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before using boom lifts so as to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks requiring a lot of man power to be done in a lot less time. These equipment have revolutionized the material handling industry and have really increased productivity.
