Terex Knuckle Boom Lifts Long Beach

Telescoping Boom Lifts

Telescoping booms lifts are designed to mount a work bucket on a straight, extendable arm that is situated on a rotating turntable. Normally, telescoping boom lifts are utilized for tasks which require reaching at maximum height, exceeding other kinds of lifts. Like for instance, employees could perform exterior renovations or repairs on medium sized buildings but using these lifts rather than having the additional work of setting up an outside elevator or a pulley system.



The boom lift is only designed to hold a single person. These buckets are more suitable to particular jobs such as electrical repair, as opposed to window washing or general maintenance. These lifts are available in electric and gas configurations and are offered with both indoor and outdoor tires.



Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are named for the cross-braces under the work platform. These braces squeeze together in order to push the platform straight up. As these types of machines must be positioned directly under the work site, compared to boom lifts, these units are way more limited in their use.



The scissor lift typically has a bigger platform which enables the operator to control the lift to access a bigger work area once the lift platform is raised off the ground. With scissor lifts, all-terrain capability is less of a problem with these models, because they should sit on flat ground in order to be utilized. Scissor lifts are great for being used for cladding or window installation, as they provide the employees with the desired mobility; they are also a good choice for exterior repairs or window cleaning applications.



Boom Trucks vs. Cranes

The cherry picker or boom truck refers to the utility vehicle normally utilized to lift employees for various jobs performed at heights. Usually, these types of trucks have a cab. It is here where the driver sits and controls the machine. There is a bucket for where the worker can stand as well as a winch for lifting and an actuator arm for lifting the boom.



Boom trucks take personnel to heights which would usually be inaccessible. The function of cranes is to raise heavy materials or equipment from one location to another. There are various types of cranes that can carry out a variety of purposes. Both of these different types of machines excel at various tasks and are great for certain applications and accomplishing particular tasks.
