Terex Knuckle Boom Lifts San Jose

Telescoping Boom Lifts

Telescopic booms are large industrial machinery designed with a straight boom arm that is extendable. The boom is typically situated on a rotating turntable. The telescoping boom lifts are normally used for jobs that require tasks to be done at heights that exceed other kinds of lifts. Like for instance, employees could perform exterior renovations or repairs on buildings of medium height but using these lifts instead of having the additional work of setting up an outside elevator or a pulley system.



The boom lift bucket generally just holds a single employee. These buckets are more suited to specific jobs like electrical repair, rather than general maintenance or window washing. These lifts come in electric and gas configurations and are available with both indoor and outdoor tires.



Scissor Lifts

Beneath the scissor lifts work platform are the cross braces in which the equipment gets its name. When the braces move together it pushes the platform straight up. Since these machines should be directly positioned below the work location, as opposed to boom lifts, these units are way more limited in their use.



Scissor lifts do, on the other hand, offer larger platforms that allow the operator controlling the lift to access a bigger work surface when the lift is raised. With scissor lifts, all-terrain capability is less of a concern with these kinds of machinery, because they should sit on flat ground in order to be used. Scissor lifts are ideal for being utilized for window installation or cladding, because they provide the personnel with the desired mobility; they are also a great choice for exterior repairs or window cleaning applications.



Boom Trucks vs. Cranes

The boom truck or cherry picker refers to the utility vehicle usually used to lift employees for different tasks done at heights. Usually, these kinds of trucks have a cab. It is here where the operator sits and controls the equipment. There is a bucket for where the worker can stand as well as a winch for carrying and an actuator arm for lifting the boom.



Cherry pickers could lift workers up to heights which were previously inaccessible. The cranes function is to raise both heavy supplies and equipment for one place to another. There are various types of cranes that could perform a variety of purposes. Both of these different types of machines excel at different tasks and are suitable for certain applications and accomplishing certain tasks.
