Greater horizontal outreach can be obtained with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These types of equipment are ideal for locations which provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
Telescopic booms have reach capacities ranging from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom classification typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the capacity of the equipment.
Because they provide the traction, speed and torque required to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been very productive on the worksite. Though the machinery are made huge enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain models allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Moreover, some specialized units provide extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are many diesel engine choices available on the market also.
Lift Options
Picking the best lift to meet their requirements would allow operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Furthermore, customizing the chosen lift will help ensure that employees get the particular equipment they require for projects.
Starting with the platform size, lifts will have a large range of platform options. Steel platforms could vary in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a variety of available platform accessories to help modify the lift for its particular application. Platform accessories could consist of the following things: fluorescent tube caddy, half-height mesh, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, welder leads, tool tray and work lights.
There are a lot of different options and attachments available on the market these days. Companies are trying to diversify their machines as much as they can in order to suit their many different customer requirements. It is worth the research to know what particular options your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of using.
