Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Man lifts are available in a variety of engine-powered and electric powered models, depending upon the industry and the function. These reliable machines could be used for a variety of tasks and applications. For instance there are outdoor lifts which provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet and are capable of rising more than 140 feet. In addition, there are smaller models which could extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Generally, electric powered man lifts are used on concrete slabs indoors and have slim body designs in order to access narrow areas. Typically, engine-powered man lifts operate on gas, propane and diesel and are generally utilized for outdoor work.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal alternative for indoor use, since they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes able to maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These types of man lifts are capable of easily maneuvering and fitting into tight spaces. They are capable of reaching overhead work areas.
There are several electrical lifts which have a platform that could rotate to allow for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made particularly for more accuracy and maneuverability. The electric lifts are offered in numerous sizes for using in places with high ceilings and inside small warehouses or similar environments. The electric drive can work on rechargeable batteries which are typically recharged overnight and then are ready to go in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many kinds of terrain. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs that are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a very stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be utilized on rough and uneven ground.
