Using an articulated boom lift for your project
Articulating boom lifts, sometimes also known as knuckle booms, are a specific type of MEWP designed to provide access to hard-to-reach areas. Their unique design, which features multiple hinged sections, allows for far greater flexibility and manoeuvrability compared to other types of boom lift. They are used across a variety of industries, from signage installation and pest control to exhibition stand construction and even television and film production.
The articulating boom lift is popular with contractors who require very precise positioning and the flexibility to move around obstacles. This is made possible by the multiple boom sections, which can be adjusted independently by the operator, enabling navigation around structures and within confined spaces that straight telescopic booms cannot access. When versatility is essential, the articulating boom lift is the go-to solution for those who understand their incredible versatility.
As with everything at GTAccess, safety is always a top priority with articulated boom lifts. They are equipped with several safety features, including guardrails, harness attachment points and emergency descent systems. Advanced models may also include electronic stability controls, tilt sensors and automatic platform levelling to enhance safety and stability during operation. Diesel articulating boom lifts are ideal for outdoor use and rough terrain, while articulating electric boom lifts make for ideal indoor units with their zero-emission operation. Additionally, many models come with hybrid power systems, which are particularly beneficial for indoor use and areas where noise can be an issue.
