There are numerous types of Manlifts existing, though they all share the same fundamental purpose, lifting things and workers to perform above-ground work. Man Lifts are normally utilized in retail stores, warehouses, manufacturing plants, construction, for utility work and in any application where the work should be finished in a hard-to-reach location.

Kinds of Man Lifts
Manlifts are offered in three major kinds: Scissor Lifts, Boom Lifts and Personnel Lifts. Designed specially for single-users cases, personnel lifts are vertical travel buckets. They are the most economical alternative for single-user operations that require just vertical travel. Scissor Lifts are flat platform equipment that travel straight upward and downward. These machinery are best utilized for moving large amounts of materials or people upward and downward. Scissor lifts offer more lifting capacity and larger workspaces than bucket lifts. Boom Lifts are buckets situated at the end of jointed or extendable arms. These equipment are ideal if you have to reach up and over obstacles, since nearly all other machinery only move straight up and down.

Boom Lifts
Boom lifts are offered in 2 distinct varieties, articulating and telescopic boom lifts. The telescopic boom lifts are often called stick booms or straight booms. This type has long and extendable arms which can reach up to 120' at basically any angle. These booms are often utilized in the construction industry as their long reach enables staff to easily gain access to the upper floors of buildings. These are the best choice if the objective is getting the longest and highest reach.

The articulating boom has bendable arms which are capable of reaching around and over obstacles. These kinds of booms are often called knuckle booms and can place the bucket into the precise location which it has to be. Articulating booms are popular in the utility business where working near obstacles like for example trees, and power lines make positioning tricky. These booms are likewise common place in plant maintenance where they enable workers to reach over immovable equipment.

Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts only travel vertically, unlike boom lifts. They normally offer larger lifting capacities and larger platforms. These platforms provide more space for workers and materials, enabling workers to access a bigger work area without needing to reposition the lift. A variety of scissor lifts have a platform extension that provides a horizontal reach out of the top of the lift of 4' to 6'. Platform extensions provide a huge amount of flexibility even though overall scissor lifts are very limited compared to a boom lift.
