Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Man lifts are offered in various engine-powered and electric powered models, depending upon the function and the industry. These reliable machines can be used for various jobs and applications. For instance there are lifts designed for outdoor use which are capable of rising more than 140 feet and offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Additionally, there are smaller models which could extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Generally, electric powered man lifts are used indoors on concrete slabs and have slim body designs in order to access narrow areas. Normally, engine-powered man lifts are mainly designed for outdoor work and run on diesel, gas and propane.
Electric Man Lifts
Because they do not provide any pollution and come in small enough sizes to maneuver around barriers and blockages and fit through standard-sized doorways, electric man lifts are an excellent alternative for indoor applications. These models are capable of maneuvering and fitting into tight spaces easily. They could reach overhead work areas.
Certain electric lifts have a rotating platform that is specially for targeted maneuvers and provides precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate maneuverability and efficiency. The electric lifts are offered in many sizes for using in areas with high ceilings and inside small warehouses or similar settings. The electric drive is capable of operating on rechargeable batteries that are typically recharged overnight and afterward can be used in the morning.
The engine powered articulating lifts could be utilized on a wider variety of terrains. Several types of these lifts are fitted with legs which are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a highly stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on uneven and rough ground.
