Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their customers reach their objectives as they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. Both these models are often powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great choice for tasks which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery can rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. Because the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is fully extended, it is a very versatile equipment. These models come in 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
The articulated boom lifts are utilized for jobs which require to reach up and over obstacles in order to gain access. These specialized lifts are utilized for jobs which are not easily carried out by straight telescopic booms. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability 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.
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 safety and confidence. Proper training is required before operating boom lifts so as to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to require a lot more man power to be carried out in a much shorter time period. These equipment have really increased production and have revolutionized the material handling business.
