Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their goals because they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Usually, these models are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great option for jobs that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. As the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available 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 models carry out jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost like 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 range of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects within the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is required prior to using boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks needing many man power to be done in a lot less time. These machines have changed the material handling business and have greatly increased production.
