CareLift Equipment has been engineering and building quality rough terrain forklifts since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their objectives as they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these units are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the ideal option for tasks that require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine can rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a very versatile machinery. These units come in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs which require to reach up and over obstacles so as to gain access. These specialized lifts are used for tasks that are not easily completed by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects within the work site.
To be able to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary prior to operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing lots of man hours to be carried out in a lot less time. These machines have really increased production and have changed the material handling business.
