Types of Construction Lifts or Boom Lifts

A boom lift is a piece of machine that allows personnel to carry out tasks without having to build a scaffolding. They are used to work on elevated structures, to do maintenance work and are common machinery found in warehouse and factory settings as well.



Typically, construction lifts provide powered and wheeled bases that are capable of driving to the work place and have a platform on them that is responsible for lifting workers. There are a lot of different types of lifts and each one is suited to different kinds of jobs and settings.



Bucket Trucks

Bucket trucks or cherry pickers, are built with a long boom which has a bucket connected at the end. This bucket area is where an employee can stand. Commonly, bucket trucks are used by landscapers and by utility workers. Landscapers normally utilize these equipment to prune trees.



Every bucket truck has a boom assembly mounted to a regular truck, which allows these vehicles to move fast on normal roads. In addition, this increases the area that this machinery could service effectively. This is specially vital for power companies. For instance, a lot of these companies utilize cherry pickers to lift employees up so they can work on and reach transmission lines. The buckets should be inspected frequently and insulated well since they are working close to possible shock hazards.



Articulated boom lifts are also referred to as "knuckle lifts", and consist of a work platform that is mounted on an arm that can bend in order to reach around obstacles. The base of the lift contains a turntable and is capable of turning the lift in a full circle. The base of the lift is mounted on wheels as well for extra mobility.



Typically, the articulated boom lift is utilized for landscaping projects but is also useful for maintenance work on projects which are already completed. Projects which do not require easy access directly beneath the jobsite. These lifts can be utilized for exterior electrical work and to repair piping, as well as difficult to clean areas. Often knuckle lifts are driven by the worker in the platform with the boom extended.
