Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts and aerial platforms enable workers to work on elevated structures because they could reach a lot of objects and structures. These lifts provide friendly user controls which enable to independently operate the platform from the base. This allows the machine to access things. There are numerous available lift designs that are suitable for specific settings and applications.
Scissor Lift
Utilizing a series of crisscrossed linked steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers use a big rectangle platform that is attached to the top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
The scissor lift features a low profile that is ideal for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete. These machinery use either a combustion engine or an electric motor to power the lift and the lifting mechanism.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts utilize the same technology as the standard kind of scissor lift. The rough terrain model differs in that it features a specific base which is designed for surfaces that are uneven. The rough terrain also offers a higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. These units offer lower lifting heights overall because of the equipment's higher center of gravity.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift offers a telescoping beam which rises vertically and diagonally. This machinery provides a small work platform outfitted with controls to operate the boom. The controls utilize an IC or a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
Articulating booms have two telescopic booms connected together with a moving elbow. This lifting equipment provides a bucket or a small working platform outfitted with hand controls which are utilized to control the boom. The articulating lift is capable of reaching on top buildings and over things.
