Articulating booms
Articulating boom lifts, 45, 60, and 80 ft
An articulating boom bends. That is the point. Use one when the work is up and over a roof edge, a canopy, a pipe rack, or a line of parked cars.
45, 60, and 80 ft
45 ft covers a lot of storefront, sign, and low roof work. 60 ft is the class people ask for when a scissor cannot reach around an obstacle. 80 ft is for taller facades, site lighting, and plant steel where a straight telescopic boom would need a clear shot that the site does not have.
The knuckle lets the basket sit close to the wall while the base stays back. It also means the machine needs room to unfold. A tight alley can take the working envelope away even when the brochure height looks right.
What to tell the yard
Say whether the ground is slab, gravel, or mud, and whether you need a narrow aisle. Four-wheel-drive diesel machines are common in this class outdoors. Indoor atrium work sometimes wants a smaller electric or hybrid boom, or a spider lift instead.
