Aerial Lifts
What is a Boom Lift?
A boom lift is a piece of rental equipment with a man basket at the end of an arm. The basket is large enough for people and tools to work. The operator controls the boom lift from the basket using switches and a joysticks. A boom lift is not designed to lift equipment like a crane. The arm can rotate 360 degrees giving you a wide range of motion; the length of the boom arm can vary from 30 to 185 feet. As the length of your arm increases the base must also increase in size and weight to give stability and security.
What is a scissor lift?
A scissor lift is an elevator that moves around. It is an aerial work platform set on a stack of scissoring arms. The scissor lift mainly uses hydraulics to raise and lower the platform. Some manufactures have tried to use pneumatics, screws and other ways to raise and lower the platform. Self propelled scissor lifts uses either electric or hydraulic motors. Even fueled powered scissor lifts use hydraulic motors to drive the machines.
