A boom lift is essentially a type of aerial work platform used by personnel to reach high places. A basic boom lift consists of a platform, or bucket, with a long, jointed crane run by a hydraulic lift system and attached to a grounded base. There are two types of boom lifts: Articulating Boom Lifts and Telescopic Boom Lifts.
Articulating Booms Lifts
Articulating booms are aerial work platforms with multiple boom sections that hinge — or “articulate” — allowing the operator to gain access to work areas over obstacles and barriers. These versatile machines are perfect for tight access and hard-to-reach areas.
-
Great for confined work areas.
-
Very maneuverable – good for moving over obstacles.
-
Good for working indoors.
-
Two functioning joints add working length to this vehicle.
-
Can be positioned in a variety of ways.
Telescopic Boom Lifts
A telescopic boom is a forklift with superpowers. If you cross bred a small crane, with a forklift, you would get a telescopic boom. These machines look a lot like a forklift, but they have booms attached to them that can extend out and up.
-
Capable of performing many jobs.
-
Good for smaller job sites.
-
Ideal for working from a distance.
-
Telescopic booms are useful to have if you are in an industry where you work on roofs, or need materials to be lifted to high positions like when you are stacking items.
-
Great for increasing your speed and rate of production.
-
Good for working on rough terrain.
A motorized vehicle with a railed platform that can be raised straight up is known as a scissor lift. Criss-crossing metal supports that elongate as the platform is raised are the basic feature of scissor lifts that distinguishes them visually from other equipment used to work in higher elevations.
The electric- or gas-powered platform that is mounted on folding arms is used to provide elevated work areas or to help raise or lower unit loads.
The objective is to access difficult-to-reach areas in order to perform whatever work is required. Scissor lifts provide a mobile means of reaching areas that are very high. In the materials handling industry, these include tops of storage racks. These machines vary in size. Small lifts, four feet wide, are often used to help navigation within and between tight isles inside warehouses.
Scissors lifts allow workers to work at areas high above ground level without any concern for balance that they would have to exercise if they were using a ladder.
One of the basic safety rules forbids operators and users of scissor lifts to move the machine while the platform is in the up position.
Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA), is an impact attenuator attached to vehicles that are prone to being struck by oncoming vehicles. TMAs are designed to absorb the energy of the colliding vehicle and even redirect the vehicle away from a hazard, roadway machinery and workers with the intention to reduce damage to the lowest possible. Work Zone regulations specify a minimum safety, or buffer, distance between the vehicle, with an attached TMA, and the work zone.
