Boom Lifts

Boom lifts have an articulating arm or telescopic extension for lifting materials or personnel. They are used widely in construction and utility applications, but are also considered to be aerial equipment. Telescopic booms have a straight arm that extends in length and increases in height. Articulating booms are also designed to be raised, but have a multi-piece arm for reaching an elevated workpiece or location. Both types of boom lifts mount on vehicles or trailers, or may be self-contained with their own drive trains. Some products have wheels. Others have tracks or stabilizing legs. Telehandlers are telescopic booms that incorporate a full vehicle into their design. These boom lifts are equipped with drive trains and wheels for ease of movement around a construction site.
