Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms
Aerial platforms and scissor lifts allow employees to work on high structures because they could reach a lot of things and structures. These lifts offer friendly user controls that enable to operate the the platform independently from the base. This enables the machine to get around objects. There are numerous lift designs available that are suitable for specific applications and environments.
Scissor Lift
The scissor lift utilizes a series of crisscrossed connected steel arms. These arms are designed to create an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers make use of a large rectangle platform that is connected to the top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
The scissor lift features a low profile that is ideal for concrete, pavement and hard and compact dirt surfaces. These equipments use either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the lifting device as well as the lift.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
The rough terrain scissor lift utilizes the same lifting technology as the standard scissor lift model. The rough terrain model varies in that it features a specialized base which is designed for surfaces that are uneven. The rough terrain also offers a higher ground clearance and all terrain oversized tires. These models provide lower lifting heights overall due to the higher center of gravity of the machinery.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift provides a beam which rises both diagonally and vertically. In order to operate the boom, the equipment has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls utilize a combustion or an IC engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
Articulating booms have two telescopic booms connected together with a moving elbow. This lifting machine offers a small work platform or a bucket outfitted with hand controls which are used to control the boom. The articulating lift is capable of reaching on top buildings and over things.
The workhorses in most warehouses are the smaller three thousand pound to 4000 lb. trucks. If you are only able to have one truck and are running a smaller operation, this is a great choice as it is a really practical option. The regular forklift is a wide aisle truck which requires at least 11' aisles to turn in. The aisle's width is determined by the turn radius, the size of the truck as well as the load size. Options and attachments that are available consist of hydraulic clamps, slip sheet attachments, fork shifts and side shifts.
The reach truck is also known as a stand-up reach, straddle reach and double-deep reach. The reach truck is a narrow aisle truck particularly designed for racked pallet storage. This unit measures 8' to 10'. The reach truck has telescoping forks and utilizes a hydraulic scissors-type mechanism as well as outriggers in front. The hydraulic scissors type of device enables you to pick up 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.
