Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the industry and the function, man lifts are available in a variety of electric powered and engine powered models. These equipment are suitable for various applications. Like for instance there are outdoor lifts that are capable of rising over 140 feet and provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Moreover, there are smaller types of man lifts that can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are generally utilized on concrete slabs indoors. These machines tend to have slim body designs which allow them to work in narrow areas. Typically, engine-powered man lifts are mostly used for outdoor applications and operate on diesel, gas and propane.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an excellent choice for indoor applications, as they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes that could maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These types of man lifts are capable of maneuvering and fitting into tight spaces easily. They are capable of reaching overhead work areas.
Several electric lifts have a rotating platform which is particularly for targeted maneuvers and provides precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate maneuverability and efficiency. The electric lifts are available in numerous sizes for using inside small warehouses or similar settings and in places with high ceilings. The electric drive can work on rechargeable batteries which are usually recharged overnight and afterward are ready to go in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many types of terrain. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs that are capable of hoisting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a a platform that is highly stable. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be used on uneven and rough ground.
