Greater horizontal outreach can be obtained using telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These types of machinery are ideal for places that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
Telescopic booms have reach capacities varying from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the capacity of the machine.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite because they provide the speed, torque and traction required to get the job done. Though the equipment are made really huge to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in tight spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rough jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Additionally, several specialized units provide extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine choices offered on the market also.
Lift Options
Operators will be able to maximize their jobsite productivity by picking the right lift to meet their application needs. Furthermore, customizing the chosen lift would help make sure that employees get the specific machinery they need for projects.
Starting with the platform size, lifts would have a wide range of platform options. Steel platforms may vary in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are a range of platform accessories available to help modify the lift for its specific use. Platform accessories can include the following things: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, 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 today. Businesses are attempting to diversify their machinery as much as possible in order to suit all their various customer requirements. It is worth the research to know what particular options your telescopic boom lift could utilize.
