CareLift Equipment has been engineering and building quality rough terrain forklifts ever since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their goals because they know the bottom line is performance and reliability.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These models are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these models are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the great choice for tasks which require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. Since the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely 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 not accessible. These lift units carry out jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is required prior to utilizing boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing many man hours to be carried out in a lot less time. These machinery have revolutionized the material handling industry and have really increased productivity.
