What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
The articulating boom lift or cherry picker is hydraulically powered lift that could easily access, high places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.
Design
The articulated boom parts enable the machine to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both vertically and horizontally, as opposed to a scissor lift, which could only travel vertically. The boom lift can easily reach over huge obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.
Use
Window fitters and construction crews use boom lifts for is strong and stable platform on which to stand when working on the outsides of buildings. Tree surgeons and lamppost engineers as well as firefighters frequently utilize boom lifts.
Availability

Electric Man lifts are utilized mostly on indoor applications and slab. Their narrow chassis design offers easy access in tight areas. The Engine-Drive Man lifts provide 2 various fuel choices. These include propane and gas duel fuel options and diesel fuel. For use in congested places, the minimal tail-swing provides amazing maneuverability.
