Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their consumers reach their goals since they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These models are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Normally, these units are hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the great option for tasks which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment could rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machine. These units are available in gas, diesel or propane configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
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 complete. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various 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 within the work environment.
In order to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Proper training is necessary before utilizing boom lifts in order to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to require many more man power to be done in a much shorter time period. These machines have really increased production and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
