What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial machine which is used in numerous applications from electrical repair to construction. These extremely maneuverable lifts make working at heights a lot safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are a different term utilized for articulating boom lifts. These equipment are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which enable the articulating lifts to reach over things and outwards in addition to upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Both telescoping or straight boom lifts can work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Unlike articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that could be reached with it.
Advantages
The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are available in electrical models, have zero tail swing and are convenient for indoor application. These particular kinds of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.
SJ 46AJ
The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for using many of their dependable and efficient design features. The SJ 46AJ offers an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation that is standard equipped. Due to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight spaces, this model also provides zero tail swing.
Skyjack is well known for its positive traction for extreme terrains. Many of their equipment provide axle based 4WD. These equipment are known for having a reliable and rugged drive train and proven low maintenance. Moreover, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential unlock and lock switch.
