Greater horizontal outreach can be obtained with telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These types of machinery are excellent for locations that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
Telescopic booms have reach capacities ranging from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom nomenclature usually includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to know the capacity of the equipment.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite because they offer the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job completed. While the equipment are built large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Furthermore, some specialized units offer extendable axles which provide stability and retract for easy transportation. There are many diesel engine alternatives available on the market too.
Lift Options
Choosing the right lift to meet their needs would allow operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Furthermore, customizing the chosen lift will really help ensure that employees get the specific machinery they require for projects.
Normally, lifts have a variety of platform options, starting with the platform size. Operators might need to choose from steel platforms ranging in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of available platform accessories to help modify the lift for its specific use. Platform accessories may comprise the following items: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, work lights, welder leads and tool tray.
On the market these days there are a lot of available attachments and options. Businesses are trying to diversify their machinery as much as possible to be able to suit all their various customer needs. It is worth the research to find out what specific options your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of utilizing.
