There are various articulation points on the boom in order to enable it to bend in a variety of different directions allowing it to move around any objects easily in the work environment.

The outriggers provide the operator with some extra confidence and safety. Proper training is required prior to operating boom lifts in order to ensure the operator, the jobsite and everybody working in the vicinity stays safe.
