Articulated boom working

Articulating Boom Lifts for Hire

Articulating Boom Lifts (knuckle booms) are ideal for reaching up and over floor mounted obstructions and reaching elevated locations not easily accessed by a conventional (straight) Telescopic Boom Lift.

The lower or tower boom elevates to clear obstructions up to 9.8m (32ft) to allow the upper straight telescopic boom unimpeded reach to the required location. The boom's turret rotates through 360 degrees and both the lower Tower Boom and the Telescopic Upper Boom can be operated from the Work Platform to full working height, giving a large working envelope.

Articulating Boom Lifts are driveable from the work platform at full height and are available in either diesel 4wd or electric power with a variety of chassis widths to allow access to both narrow industrial aisles and crowded job sites.

Features and Benefits of articulated booms

A range of working heights from 11.0m (40ft) to 47.5m (156ft) 4WD Diesel Power for Rough Terrain operation and additionally 4WS on larger models to ensure tight manoeuvrability on crowded job sites.

Working Platforms up to 2.5m (8ft) wide rotate 180 degrees around the end of the boom to position the operator parallel to any working surface. Extended Reach Tip Booms up to 3.0m (10ft) allow overreach of obstructions.

Ready for elevation as a stable steady work area within moments of arriving on site allowing workforce to concentrate on job in hand rather than erecting, climbing and manually moving conventional forms of access including: Traditional Scaffolding, System Scaffolding or Aluminium Towers.
