Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their objectives because they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These models are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Often, these models are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great choice for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be vertically raised to below horizontal. Since the operator is able to maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These models are available in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise not accessible. These lift units carry out jobs that straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are practically like the straight boom lift in most 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 variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily within the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers so as to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before using boom lifts so as to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing many man power to be carried out in a lot less time. These equipment have really increased productivity and have changed the material handling industry.
