Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, ever since the year 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help their consumers reach their goals as they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
Boom lifts come in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. These units are often powered hydraulically. Most often straight booms are the great option for tasks which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machinery is capable of rotating 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom can be raised vertically to below horizontal. Because the operator can maneuver and steer the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a versatile machinery. These models come in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are used for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise not accessible. These lift units perform jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost identical to the straight boom lift in the majority of 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 range of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily within the work environment.
In order to maintain stability whilst the boom lift is completely extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Correct training is necessary before utilizing boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable jobs that used to require a lot more man power to be done in a much shorter time period. These machinery have greatly increased productivity and have changed the material handling business.
