Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since the year 1962. Every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their goals since they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These models are straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts. Normally, these models are hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great option for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as propane, gas or diesel configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting loads up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise not accessible. These lift units perform tasks which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are practically 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 move around any objects easily 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 confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary prior to using boom lifts so as to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable jobs that used to need many more man hours to be completed in a much shorter time period. These machinery have changed the material handling business and have really increased production.
