CareLift Equipment has been designing and building quality rough terrain forklifts since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help their customers reach their objectives and deliver value since they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general types, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. These models are often hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal option for jobs that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be vertically raised to below horizontal. Since the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machinery. These models are available in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units perform tasks which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily within the work site.
To be able to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Proper training is necessary before operating boom lifts in order to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for tasks requiring lots of man hours to be completed in a lot less time. These machinery have changed the material handling business and have greatly increased production.
