Greater horizontal outreach could be acquired with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These types of machinery are excellent for places which provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature typically includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to identify the equipment's capacity.
Because they provide the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job done, telescopic booms have been extremely productive on the worksite. Though the equipment are made large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain models allow the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Moreover, several particular models offer extendable axles that offer stability and retract for easy transportation. There are multiple diesel engine options available on the market as well.
Lift Options
Operators will be able to maximize their jobsite productivity by choosing the right lift to meet their application requirements. As well, customizing the chosen lift would help ensure that workers get the specific machinery they truly need for projects.
Starting with the platform size, lifts will have a wide range of platform options. Steel platforms can range in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are different kinds of platform accessories available to help modify the lift for its specific use. Platform accessories could consist of the following things: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, tool tray, work lights and welder leads.
On the market these days there are so many available options and attachments. Businesses are attempting to diversify their equipment as much as they could in order to meet all their many different customer needs. It is worth the research to find out what specific alternatives your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of utilizing.
