Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts
Aerial platforms and scissor lifts enable employees to work on high structures in a safe manner and enable them to get to objects and structures. These lifts and platforms provide friendly user controls to maneuver the base and the platform independently. This allows the machine to access things. There are many lift designs available that are suited for particular applications and settings.
Scissor Lift
Utilizing a series of crisscrossed linked steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers make use of a big rectangle platform that is attached to the top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
Scissor lifts are ideal for pavement, compact and hard dirt surfaces and concrete since they feature a low profile. These machines make use of either a combustion engine or an electric motor to power the lifting mechanism and the lift.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
The rough terrain scissor lift makes use of the same lifting technology as the standard scissor lift unit. The rough terrain model differs in that it features a specialized base that is designed for uneven surfaces. The rough terrain additionally offers a higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. These units provide lower lifting heights overall because of the machine's higher center of gravity.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift offers a beam which rises both diagonally and vertically. In order to operate the boom, the machinery has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls make use of a combustion or an IC engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
Articulating booms have two telescopic booms connected together with a moving elbow. This lifting machine offers a small work platform or a bucket outfitted with hand controls that are utilized to control the boom. The articulating lift can reach on top buildings and over things.
