What Precisely Is an Articulating Boom Lift?
An articulating boom lift is an industrial equipment which is used in a many different applications from electrical repair to construction. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much safer and efficient.
Height
Knuckle boom lifts are a different term used for articulating boom lifts. These machines 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 many bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that allow the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects in addition to upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Straight or telescoping boom lifts have a working height that ranges from forty six to eighty six feet. Not like 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 design of the articulating boom lift helps to ensure it can negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts are convenient for indoor use, available in electrical models and have zero tail swing. These particular kinds of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.
SJ 46AJ
The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for utilizing many of their reliable and effective design features. The SJ 46AJ provides an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation which is standard equipped. Thanks to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight areas, this specific model also provides zero tail swing.
Skyjack is well known for its extreme terrains and positive traction. Many of their machines offer axle based 4WD. These machines are known for having a reliable and rugged drive train and proven low maintenance. Furthermore, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential unlock and lock switch. This enables the operator to lock the rear differential when traveling on rough terrain.
