CareLift Equipment has been designing and making quality rough terrain forklifts ever since the year 1962. Each day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their objectives as they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Usually, these units are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great alternative for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator could maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These units are available in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as propane, gas or diesel configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise not accessible. These lift models carry out jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work site.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary before 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 requiring many man hours to be done in a lot less time. These equipment have revolutionized the material handling industry and have greatly increased production.
