Skyjack Articulating Boom Lifts San Jose

What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?

An articulating boom lift is an industrial machine which is used in various applications from construction to electrical repair. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot efficient and safer.



Height

Knuckle boom lifts are a different term for articulating boom lifts. These machines are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.



Design

Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects as well as upwards.



Articulating vs. Telescoping

Telescoping or straight boom lifts have a working height which ranges from 46 to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that can be reached with it.



Advantages

The design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it could negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are available in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor application. These specific kinds of lifts are ideal for crowded work situations.



SJ 46AJ

The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for using many of their dependable and effective design features. The SJ 46AJ offers an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation which is standard equipped. Thanks to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight areas, this specific model also provides zero tail swing.



Skyjack is recognized for offering extreme terrain ability and positive traction. These features are offered by the axle based 4WD, which is provided in many of Skyjack's product designs. These machinery are known for having a dependable and rugged drive train and proven low maintenance. Additionally, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential lock and unlock switch. This allows the operator to lock the rear differential when traveling on rough terrain.
