Greater horizontal outreach can be acquired with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These types of machinery are ideal for locations which provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the equipment's capacity.
Telescopic booms are very productive on the worksite as they offer the traction, speed and torque needed to get the job done. Though the machines are built very huge to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined areas. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system offered by the rough-terrain units enable the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Moreover, some specialized units offer extendable axles which provide stability and retract for easy transportation. There are various diesel engine options offered on the market also.
Lift Options
Picking the right lift to meet their requirements would enable operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. In addition, customizing the chosen lift will help ensure that workers get the particular machinery they truly require for projects.
Normally, lifts have a range of platform options, starting with the platform size. Operators might have to choose from steel platforms ranging in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are different types of available platform accessories to help customize the lift for its particular application. Platform accessories can include the following things: fluorescent tube caddy, half-height mesh, control box cover, auxiliary top railing, tool tray, work lights and welder leads.
On the market nowadays there are a lot of available options and attachments. Businesses are trying to diversify their machines as much as possible to be able to meet their various customer needs. It is worth the research to find out what particular options your telescopic boom lift can utilize.
