Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Every day the company strives to help all their customers reach their objectives and deliver value because they know the bottom line is performance and reliability.
Boom lifts come in 2 general types, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. These models are usually hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal choice for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machinery. These models come in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs which need to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are used for jobs which are not easily completed by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like 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 easily move around any objects within the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers so as to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is necessary prior to using boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks requiring a lot of man hours to be carried out in a lot less time. These machinery have revolutionized the material handling industry and have really increased production.
