Scissor Lift
Overview
Industrial or “Slab” Scissor Lifts are intended for indoor use on flat concrete slab surfaces. The lifts come with non-marking hard–rubber tires and have very high steering angles that provide excellent maneuverability.
Rough terrain lifts have been developed for outside construction applications an outrigger option that allows the lift to accommodate uneven surfaces is also available on these units. They accommodate greater platform capacities: Greater lift capacities allow the operator to carry larger and heavier combinations of tools and materials. It can be used for maintenance, installation and repair and accessing high shelves in warehouses.
Boom Lift
Overview
A boom lift, also known as a cherry picker or aerial work platform, is a versatile piece of equipment designed to provide elevated access to hard-to-reach areas.
Boom lifts are widely used in various industries, including construction, maintenance, and utilities. They are essential for tasks such as installing lighting, performing building repairs, and conducting inspections at height. Their ability to extend and maneuver makes them valuable for projects requiring both height and reach.
Boom lifts are indispensable tools for accessing elevated areas safely and efficiently, offering flexibility and reach for a wide range of tasks across different industries.
