Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their goals because they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Normally, these units 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 machinery can rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile equipment. These models are available in propane, gas or diesel 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 which were otherwise not accessible. These lift models carry out jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot complete. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom 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.
To be able to maintain stability while the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Proper training is necessary prior to operating boom lifts so as to ensure the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks that used to require many more man power to be done in a much shorter time period. These machines have changed the material handling business and have really increased productivity.
