Used Manitou Aerial Lifts Berkeley

Numerous workplace applications would require more reach than the regular job. The articulating and telescopic booms is a great choice for these particular instances. Electric or engine powered or bi-energy booms are great for rough terrain, outdoor or indoor applications, so technically, there is a suitable boom lift available for every kind of job. Simply take the time to figure out what kinds of capacities you will need to get the task done and what type of cargo you will be handling.

As aerial work platforms, the articulating booms utilize multiple boom sections that hinge or articulate. These machines provide a maximum reach of 6.25 meters or 21 feet 5 inches to 21.26 meters or 69 feet 9 inches. These units can vary in height between 11.14 meters and 36 feet or 43.15 meters or 141 feet. Articulated boom units are often classified by platform height and by horizontal reach.

To access work places over barriers and obstacles including equipment or shelving, the articulating booms are usually used. They have less horizontal outreach than telescopic booms, but the articulating booms provide greater versatility and better positioning. This allows better access for overhead work places from aisles and from tight areas. Throughout the variety of articulating booms, most of them are able to hold weight capacities of up to 227 kilograms or 500 pounds. These machines are able to raise 2 operators and their tools easilyand sometimes extra materials.

There are both industrial and rough terrain articulating booms, similar to scissor lifts. Industrial units are usually equipped with non-marking tires and are intended for indoor operation. The majority of articulated boom manufacturers use clean burning fuels like for instance DC electric power or LPG or liquid propane gas for their industrial models. AC drive system technology is popular in industrial forklifts, though it is new to the market of aerial work platforms. This technology combines DC batteries along with 3-phase AC drive motors for more continuous control of turning, braking and drive speed and overall energy efficient operation.

Rough-terrain models are specifically designed to negotiate rugged construction site locations. With features like diesel engines, lug-tread tires, an oscillating axle and 4-wheel drive, these specialized things are common-place on rough-terrain articulating booms. These heavy-duty extras are what really make these machines able to withstand the rough settings they work in.
