Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Man lifts are available in various engine-powered and electric powered models, which depends upon the industry and the function. These reliable equipment could be utilized for various jobs and applications. For example there are outdoor lifts which are capable of rising over 140 feet and provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Moreover, there are smaller types of man lifts which can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are generally utilized indoors on concreted slabs. These machinery tend to have slim body designs that allow them to work in narrow areas. Typically, engine-powered man lifts run on gas, propane and diesel and are mainly utilized for outdoor work.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal alternative for indoor applications, as they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes able to maneuver them around blockages and barriers to fit through standard-sized doorways. These types of man lifts are capable of easily fitting and maneuvering into tight spaces. They are capable of reaching overhead work areas.
Several electric lifts have a rotating platform which is particularly for targeted maneuvers and offers precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate maneuverability and efficiency. The electric lifts are available in many sizes for using in small warehouses or similar environments and in places with high ceilings. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries that are normally recharged overnight and afterward can be used in the morning.
The engine powered articulating lifts could be used on a wider variety of terrains. Some kinds of these lifts are fitted with legs which are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a highly stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be used on grounds that are uneven and rough.
