Kinds of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the industry and the function, man lifts are available in various electric powered and engine powered models. These equipment are great for a variety of applications. Like for instance there are outdoor lifts which offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet and are capable of rising over 140 feet. Moreover, there are smaller models that can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Normally, electric powered man lifts are used indoors on concrete slabs and have slim body designs to be able to access narrow areas. Normally, engine-powered man lifts run on propane, diesel and gas and are mostly used for outdoor applications.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an excellent alternative for indoor use, since they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes that could maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These models are capable of fitting and maneuvering into tight areas easily. They are capable of reaching overhead work areas.
There are several electrical lifts which have a platform which could rotate to allow for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made particularly for more accuracy and maneuverability. The electric lifts are available in numerous sizes for using in small warehouses or similar environments and in areas with high ceilings. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries that are usually recharged overnight and after that can be used in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for numerous types of terrain. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs which could lift the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a a platform that is very stable. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on rough and uneven ground.
