Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending upon the function and the industry, man lifts are offered in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These machines are suitable for various uses. Like for example there are lifts designed for outdoor applications which are capable of rising more than 140 feet and provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet. In addition, there are smaller types of man lifts which could extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Usually, electric powered man lifts are used on concrete slabs indoors and have slim body designs in order to access narrow spaces. Typically, engine-powered man lifts run on diesel, gas and propane and are mostly utilized for outdoor applications.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal choice for indoor applications, as they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes able to maneuver them around barriers and blockages to fit through standard-sized doorways. These models are capable of maneuvering and fitting into tight areas easily. They can reach overhead work areas.
Certain electric lifts have a rotating platform which is specially for targeted maneuvers and offers precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate efficiency and maneuverability. The electric lifts are offered in numerous sizes for using in areas with high ceilings and in small warehouses or similar environments. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries which are usually recharged overnight and after that are ready to go in the morning.
The engine powered articulating lifts can be utilized on a wider range of terrains. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs that could lift the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a very stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be utilized on grounds that are uneven and rough.
