Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending on the industry and the function, man lifts are offered in a variety of electric powered and engine powered models. These machinery are suitable for various uses. For instance there are outdoor lifts that are capable of rising over 140 feet and provide a horizontal extension of 69 feet. Additionally, there are smaller types of man lifts which can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Electric powered man lifts are usually used indoors on concreted slabs. These machines tend to have slim body designs that allow them to work in narrow areas. Typically, engine-powered man lifts operate on propane, diesel and gas and are generally used for outdoor work.
Electric Man Lifts
As they do not give any pollution and come in small enough sizes to maneuver around blockages and barriers and fit through standard-sized doorways, electric man lifts are an excellent alternative for indoor applications. These models are capable of easily fitting and maneuvering into tight areas. They could reach overhead work areas.
There are several electrical lifts that have a platform that could rotate to enable for more targeted maneuvers. The lift controls were made specifically for more accuracy and maneuverability. The electric lifts are offered in many 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 afterward are ready to go in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many types of terrain. Some kinds of these lifts are fitted with legs that are capable of hoisting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a very stable platform. Other articulating lifts have been designed for use on grounds that are rough and uneven.
