The Advantages of a Man Lift
For places which are very high to reach by any other ways, man lifts provide an easy and safe method to fix problems. These are mechanical lifts that enable employees to safely reach a high work place. Normally, man lifts are utilized by construction and service workers to carry out work on buildings, light poles and other places that are too up high to reach by other methods.
Safety
Taking safety into account is the main factor when using a man lift. Ladders are not a practical alternative for extreme heights and thus man lifts are the perfect alternative for these areas. The majority of these equipment are equipped with emergency shut-off switches and safety rails to make worker safety a top priority.
Range
Man lifts can reach heights which other machine is unable to. Originally used to pick fruit, the equipment has evolved to conquer numerous uses. For example, they are usually utilized to do finishing work in the construction business and changing light bulbs. Typically, man lifts are capable of reaching heights of around 20 to 100 feet.
There are smaller man lifts which could operate indoors to carry out jobs in areas such as large office buildings, hotels and sports arenas. They can be powered with electricity. This eliminates the harmful fumes and the hazards associated with them.
Engine-Powered Boom Lifts
An engine-powered boom lift is the answer for workers who have to reach heights both quickly and efficiently. The boom lift allows for a much mobility, capable of moving in many directions. Boom lifts can also easily fit into narrow spaces. Each and every "joint" in the boom lift is controlled to adjust to different heights to be able to place the worker exactly where she or he should be to be able to get the job completed. The engine power system is what enables boom lifts to reach their full elevation in not a lot of time. Firefighters often utilize engine powered boom lifts when they need to rapidly ascend to heights during a rescue mission.
