Snorkel Articulated Man Lifts Houston

Articulating man lifts are the ideal choice when reaching up and overtop of obstacles mounted on floors, machinery and equipment. These machinery can reach high areas which are not accessed easily by a telescopic or straight boom lift.



What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?

An articulated boom lift or a cherry picker is a hydraulically powered lift that is used to reach the difficult to access, elevated places above ground level. An articulated boom lift is controlled by the operator from a panel which is situated in the bucket.



Design

The articulated boom parts enable the machinery to travel in different directions. Like for example, a boom lift is capable of traveling both horizontally and vertically, as opposed to a scissor lift, that could only travel vertically. The boom lift is able to easily reach over big obstacles by being able to travel in opposing directions. This boom is attached to and supported by a grounded vehicle.



Use
