Height
Knuckle boom lifts are another term used for articulating boom lifts. These equipment are capable of reaching heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with many bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over objects and also upwards.
Telescoping vs. Articulating
Both telescoping or straight boom lifts can work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas which can be reached with it.
