What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial equipment which is used in a many different applications from construction to electrical repair. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are a different term used for articulating boom lifts. These machines are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things as well as upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height that ranges from 46 to eighty six feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that are able to be reached with it.
Advantages
The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts have zero tail swing, are convenient for indoor use and available in electrical models. These specific kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.
SJ 46AJ
The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for using many of their dependable and efficient design features. The SJ 46AJ offers an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation which is standard equipped. Thanks to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight spaces, this specific model provides zero tail swing also.
Skyjack is well known for its positive traction for extreme terrains. Many of their machinery provide axle based 4WD. These equipment are known for having a reliable and rugged drive train and proven low maintenance. In addition, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential unlock and lock switch. This allows the operator to lock the rear differential when traveling on rough terrain.
