Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help their consumers reach their goals and deliver value as they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
There are 2 general types of boom lifts. These models are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these models are powered hydraulically. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal option for jobs that require a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be raised vertically to below horizontal. As the operator is able to maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a versatile machine. These models come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as propane, gas or diesel configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are used for jobs which need to reach up and over obstacles so as to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for jobs which are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are practically identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are different articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move easily around any objects in the work site.
To be able to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary prior to utilizing boom lifts in order to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone 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 revolutionized the material handling business and have greatly increased production.
