Articulated Boom Lifts Newmarket

Articulating boom lifts are more flexible, using an articulated upper section similar to cherry pickers. These articulated boom lifts offer the same movement options as cherry picker hire options but are not as expensive as full cherry picker hire arrangements in most cases.

Like a cherry picker, they can reach out over rough terrain. An articulated boom gives easy manoeuvrability, but the work platform may reach a lower working height as it moves further towards the edge of its range. This makes an articulating boom a versatile tool that can move around obstacles in both outdoor and indoor areas.

Telescopic Boom Lifts Newmarket

A telescopic boom lift trades the articulated boom body for a single straight stick, which can extend outwards. This gives it more range and working height than an articulated boom, but it also loses the advantages of more flexibility and versatility.

These stick booms (or mast booms) are like multi-directional scissor lifts that reach a great working height and can be angled to offer more positioning options. However, obstacles can get in the way, and restricted spaces without much open air space can make access slightly tougher.

What is a Boom Lift?

Diesel, electric, or bi-energy booms are a bucket at the end of a control arm, giving workers an easy way to gain access to greater working heights and create temporary platforms. Booms can work for any job where working height is important, but the person using them need specific training courses to operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a boom lift used for?

A boom lift offers easy access to a working height, often working heights that are too great for other equipment to reach. Booms are suitable for outdoor and indoor use and are more compact than a larger cherry picker model in most cases, making them a convenient option as a whole.

What is the difference between a boom lift and a scissor lift?

A boom lift uses a straight mast that can often be angled, while a scissor lift uses scissor joints but can only rise upwards. This makes them significantly different tools on account of how they function.

Is a boom lift the same as a man lift?

A man lift is similar to a boom lift, but boom lifts are often more versatile. Operators can attach them to trucks or other vehicles and adjust the angle of the lift – things that a man lift can’t usually do.

What do you call a boom lift?

These lifts are often called cherry pickers, elevating work platforms, aerial work platforms, or even aerial devices. These names often overlap with others, so ‘boom lift’ is the most direct way to clarify.

Can you use a boom lift in the rain?

These lifts work for outdoor projects just fine, even in the rain. However, a wet platform presents a slip hazard, whether it is wet from rain or site cleaning specialists.

Can boom lifts tip over?

These lifts could tip over if the lift is placed on an uneven or loose surface. Choose a solid, stable site to position the lift if possible.

What is the tallest boom lift?

The tallest lifts are truck-mounted options that reach hundreds of feet into the air – more than the average company will need. Most electric and diesel booms do not reach that far at all.
