Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help their consumers reach their objectives and deliver value as they know the bottom line is performance and reliability.
Boom lifts come in 2 general kinds, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. Both these models are often hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great option for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery could rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. As the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
The articulated boom lifts are used for tasks which need to reach up and over obstacles so as to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for jobs that are not easily completed by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the ability of the boom to articulate. There are different 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.
Some heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers in order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is required prior to operating boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs requiring a lot of man power to be carried out in a lot less time. These machinery have greatly increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling business.
