Rough terrain forklifts have been manufactured by CareLift Equipment, since 1962. Each and every day the company strives to deliver value and help all their consumers reach their objectives since they know the bottom line is dependability and performance.
Boom lifts are available in 2 general kinds, the straight boom lift and articulated boom lift. Both these models are usually hydraulically powered. Most commonly straight booms are the great alternative for jobs which need a high reach with no obstructions. The turntable on the machine could rotate 360 degrees with an extendable boom. This extendable boom could be vertically raised to below horizontal. As the operator could steer and maneuver the vehicle while the boom is completely extended, it is a really versatile machine. These models are available in propane, gas or diesel configurations as well as 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive.
Articulated boom lifts are utilized for lifting cargo up and over obstacles and gain access to areas that were otherwise unaccessible. These lift units perform tasks which straight telescopic booms cannot do. These lifts are almost like the straight boom lift in most aspects except in the boom's ability to articulate. There are various articulation points on the boom in order to allow it to bend in a range of different directions allowing it to easily move around any objects in the work environment.
Several heavy-duty boom lifts come equipped with outriggers in order to maintain stability while the boom lift is fully extended. The outriggers provide the operator with some extra safety and confidence. Correct training is necessary prior to operating boom lifts so as to guarantee the operator, the jobsite and everyone working in the vicinity stays safe.
Boom lifts enable tasks which used to need many more man hours to be done in a much shorter time period. These machinery have really increased productivity and have revolutionized the material handling industry.
