Engine powered articulating boom lifts are available in four platform height options: 45 ft, 60 ft, and 80 ft. Electric articulating boom lifts are also available in four platform height options: 30', 34', 40' and 45'.
Articulating boom lifts are aerial work platforms with multiple sections that can bend, or articulate, to reach challenging spots. They’re ideal for construction, maintenance, and other tasks where precision and flexibility are required.
- Multiple Hinged Sections: Provide enhanced maneuverability.
- Compact Design: Allows operation in confined spaces.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
These models are typically used outdoors and provide impressive platform height capabilities:
- 45 ft: Perfect for mid-range tasks like façade work or tree trimming.
- 60 ft: Offers more flexibility for construction projects.
- 80 ft: Ideal for large-scale industrial tasks.
Designed for quieter operations, these are often used indoors or in noise-sensitive areas:
- 30 ft: Compact and easy to maneuver.
- 34 ft: Slightly larger, but still compact.
- 40 ft and 45 ft: Offer extended reach for higher indoor spaces.
Compact Models
- 30–50 ft: Great for smaller tasks and indoor projects.
Larger Models
- Over 100 ft: Built for large construction sites and outdoor projects where maximum height is crucial.
Platform Capacity
- 500 lb: Suitable for a single operator with basic tools.
- 600–750 lb: Can accommodate two operators and additional equipment.
- 1,000 lb: Perfect for heavier loads or multiple operators.
Maximum Horizontal Reach
- 18–23 ft: Ideal for small projects.
- 24–40 ft: Covers medium-sized jobs.
- 60 ft+: Best for reaching distant workspaces.
Maximum Up-and-Over Clearance
- 12–22 ft: Suitable for navigating minor obstacles.
- 23–26 ft: Provides greater flexibility.
- 29 ft+: Designed for the most challenging access needs.
Below Ground Reach
- 8–20 ft: Essential for tasks like maintenance on lower-level structures.
Articulating boom lifts shine in areas where other equipment falls short. Their ability to navigate tight spaces and reach over obstacles makes them indispensable for:
- Building Maintenance
- Tree Care and Landscaping
- Event Setup
- Electrical and HVAC Installations
