The Benefits of Utilizing a Man Lift
Man lifts provide an easy and safe method to fix problems at areas which are too high to reach by other means. Mechanical lifts enable workers to lift safely to an elevated work location. Normally, man lifts are utilized by construction and service employees to carry out work on light poles, buildings and other areas that are very up high to reach by other means.
Safety
The major factor when operating a man lift is of course taking safety into account. Ladders are not a viable choice for extreme heights and therefore man lifts are the best option for these areas. Most of these machines are outfitted with emergency shut-off switches and safety rails to make worker safety a main concern.
Range
Man lifts are able to reach heights that other equipment is unable to. Originally used to pick fruit, the equipment has evolved to conquer numerous uses. Like for instance, they are commonly used to do finishing work in the construction industry and changing light bulbs. Typically, man lifts could reach heights of 20 to 100 feet.
Some man lift models are small enough to be brought inside in order to raise workers to complete finishing structures in areas such as large office buildings, hotels and sports arenas. They can be powered with electricity. This eliminates the harmful fumes and their associated hazards.
Engine-Powered Boom Lifts
An engine-powered boom lift is the answer for employees who have to reach heights both quickly and efficiently. The boom lift allows for a much mobility, capable of moving in numerous directions. Boom lifts could also easily fit into narrow spaces. Every "joint" in the boom lift is controlled to adjust to various heights to be able to position the worker precisely where she or he should be to be able to get the task completed. The engine power system is what enables boom lifts to reach their full elevation quickly. Firefighters often make use of engine powered boom lifts when there are on a rescue mission and have to quickly ascend to heights.
