CareLift Equipment has been designing and building excellent rough terrain forklifts ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their objectives since they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. These units are normally powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great choice for jobs which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment can rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a very versatile machine. These units come in gas, diesel or propane configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units carry out jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. 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 enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers in order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before operating boom lifts so as to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks requiring a lot of man power to be completed in a lot less time. These machines have changed the material handling industry and have really increased production.
