Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts
Aerial platforms and scissor lifts allow employees to work on elevated structures in a safe way and allow them to get to objects and structures. These platforms and lifts provide friendly user controls to maneuver the base and the platform separately. This enables the machinery to access objects. There are a lot of available lift designs that are suitable for specific applications and environments.
Scissor Lift
Using a series of crisscrossed connected steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to create an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Employees use a large rectangle platform which is attached to the top of the lifting device. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
The scissor lift features a low profile that is ideal for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete. These equipments make use of either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the lift as well as the lifting mechanism.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts utilize the same technology as the regular type of scissor lift. The rough terrain model varies in that it features a specific base that is designed for uneven surfaces. 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 that rises both diagonally and vertically. To operate the boom, the machinery has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls use 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 attached together with a moving elbow. This lifting equipment provides a small work platform or a bucket outfitted with hand controls which are used to control the boom. The articulating lift could reach over objects and on top of buildings.
The workhorses in the majority of warehouses are the smaller 3000 pound to four thousand pound trucks. If you are only able to have one truck and are running a smaller operation, this is an ideal choice as it is a really practical option. The regular forklift is a wide aisle truck that needs at least 11' aisles to turn in. The width of the aisle is determined by the turn radius, the size of the truck and the load size. Available options and attachments consist of slip sheet attachments, hydraulic clamps, side shifts and fork shifts.
The reach truck is also referred to as a stand-up reach, straddle reach and double-deep reach. The reach truck is a narrow aisle truck specially designed used for racked pallet storage. This unit measures 8' to 10'. The reach truck consists of telescoping forks and utilizes a hydraulic scissors-type device as well as outriggers in front. The hydraulic scissors type of mechanism enables you to pick up the load and retract it over the outriggers. This design enables the operator to turn in a narrower aisle by reducing the overall load length of the truck.
