Articulated booms

An articulated boom, also known as a manlift or cherry picker, is a mobile aerial work platform commonly used in construction, maintenance, or for other industrial applications.

They are typically used to lift workers and their equipment into place to perform tasks at elevated locations.

Articulated booms consist of a jointed arm called a boom that allows for multi-directional movement and flexibility. The boom is typically mounted to a mobile base with wheels or tracks and can be extended or retracted to reach varying heights.

Some articulated boom models may have additional capabilities, such as rotating platforms or telescoping booms, further enhancing their reach and functionality.

Exploring a Wide Range of Articulated Booms

As mentioned, most articulated booms are mounted to a mobile base, allowing workers to move the entire machie around from the platform.

However, different types of articulated booms will vary in terms of their mobility, size, reach, and weight capacities.

• Wheeled articulated booms - This type of manlift is mounted on a wheeled chassis, allowing for easy transportation and maneuverability. They are commonly used in factories, warehouses, construction sites, and lighter-duty maintenance projects. Wheeled booms, such as the JLG M450AJ and the Niftylift HR17 are available in various sizes and reach capabilities to suit different job requirements.
• Tracked articulated booms - Instead of wheels, these booms utilize tracks for mobility and provide better maneuverability in tighter spaces, such as landscaping applications, tree care, and general maintenance.
• Compact articulated booms - Compact manlifts, like the Manitou 120AETJ-COMPACT 3D, are generally designed for use inside factories, warehouses, or industrial buildings, where there is not all that much space to move around. These smaller machines are generally used to access working heights of around 30 feet (9 meters) or less.
• High-reaching articulated booms - High-reach booms are designed to access extreme heights ranging between 50 to 150 feet (45 meters) or more. They possess longer booms, heavier bases and can reach much higher heights compared to standard models. These booms are commonly used on larger construction projects, building maintenance, and applications where vertical reach is crucial.
• Heavy-duty articulated booms - Heavy-duty articulated booms are built with higher weight capacities, larger platforms, and heavier bases, allowing them to take on larger construction, mining, and industrial applications. They are often used for jobs that require lifting large equipment and tools into place, heavier materials, or multiple workers at once.
