CareLift Equipment has been designing and building quality rough terrain forklifts ever since 1962. Each day the company strives to deliver value and help their customers reach their objectives as they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general kinds, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. Both these models are usually hydraulically powered. Most often straight booms are the ideal choice for tasks which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile equipment. These units are available in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise not accessible. These lift models perform jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot do. 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 enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects in the work site.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is necessary before utilizing boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable jobs that used to require a lot more man power to be done in a much shorter time period. These machinery have revolutionized the material handling business and have really increased production.
