CareLift Equipment has been engineering and building excellent rough terrain forklifts since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help all their consumers reach their goals and deliver value because they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Often, these units are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal alternative for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be vertically raised to below horizontal. As the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a versatile equipment. These units come in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift models perform jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost 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 easily move around any objects in the work site.
To be able to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary prior to operating boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing many man power to be done in a lot less time. These machines have changed the material handling business and have really increased productivity.
