Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, since 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help their customers reach their goals since they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Often, these units are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal alternative for tasks 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 could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator is able to maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machine. These models come in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are used for jobs that need to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for tasks which are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects within the work site.
In order to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is required before operating boom lifts in order to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs requiring many man hours to be carried out in a lot less time. These equipment have revolutionized the material handling business and have really increased productivity.
