Rough terrain forklifts have been produced by CareLift Equipment, ever since 1962. Every day the company strives to help their consumers reach their goals and deliver value as they know the bottom line is reliability and performance.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general kinds, the articulated boom lift and straight boom lift. These units are usually hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the ideal option for tasks that need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the equipment is capable of rotating three hundred sixty degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom is able to be vertically raised to below horizontal. As the operator is able to steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is fully extended, it is a versatile equipment. These units are available in diesel, propane or gas configurations as well as 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas which were otherwise not accessible. These lift units carry out jobs which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in the majority of aspects except in the ability of the boom 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 in the work site.
To be able to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended, several heavy-duty boom lifts come outfitted with outriggers. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Proper training is necessary before using boom lifts so as to guarantee the jobsite, the operator and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
The boom lift allows for jobs needing a lot of man power to be carried out in a lot less time. These machines have revolutionized the material handling business and have greatly increased production.
