Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to help all their customers reach their objectives and deliver value as they know the bottom line is performance and dependability.
There are 2 general kinds of boom lifts. These units are articulated boom lifts and straight boom lifts. Often, these models are powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great option for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be raised vertically to below horizontal. Since the operator can steer and maneuver the vehicle whilst the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machinery. These models are available in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, as well as gas, diesel or propane configurations.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units carry out tasks that straight telescopic booms cannot complete. 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 allow it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily within the work environment.
To be able to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is necessary before operating boom lifts so as to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs requiring lots of man hours to be completed in a lot less time. These machinery have revolutionized the material handling business and have greatly increased production.
