Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts and aerial platforms enable employees to work on high structures in a safe manner and enable them to get to objects and structures. These platforms and lifts provide friendly user controls to maneuver the platform and the base separately. This allows the equipment to get around things. There are numerous available lift designs which are suited for specific settings and applications.
Scissor Lift
Utilizing a series of crisscrossed linked steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Employees use a large rectangle platform that is attached to the top of the lifting device. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
Scissor lifts are ideal for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete because they feature a low profile. These equipments use either a combustion engine or an electric motor to power the lifting device as well as the lift.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts utilize the same technology as the regular kind of scissor lift. The rough terrain unit differs in that it features a specialized base that is designed for uneven surfaces. The rough terrain even provides all terrain oversized tires and a higher ground clearance. These units provide lower lifting heights overall because of the higher center of gravity of the machine.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift offers a telescoping beam which rises both diagonally and vertically. This machinery provides a small work platform equipped with controls to operate the boom. The controls utilize an IC or a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
An articulating boom lift has two telescopic booms that are attached with a moving elbow. This lifting machinery provides a bucket or a small working platform outfitted with hand controls that are used to control the boom. The articulating lift could reach over things and on top of buildings.
The workhorses in most warehouses are the smaller 3000 pound to 4000 lb. trucks. If you are running a smaller operation and are only able to have one truck, this is an ideal choice because it is a very practical option. The regular forklift is a wide aisle truck which requires at least eleven feet aisles to turn in. The width of the aisle is determined by the size of the truck, the turn radius and the load size. Available attachments and options consist of side shifts, fork shifts, hydraulic clamps and slip sheet attachments.
The reach truck is also referred to as a stand-up reach, straddle reach and double-deep reach. The reach truck is a narrow aisle truck specially designed for racked pallet storage. This model measures eight to ten feet. The reach truck has telescoping forks and uses outriggers in front as well as a hydraulic scissors-type mechanism. The hydraulic scissors kind of mechanism allows you to lift the load and retract it over the outriggers. This design allows the operator to turn in a narrower aisle by reducing the truck's overall load length.
