The Advantages of a Man Lift
Man lifts provide a safe and easy way to fix problems at places that are too high to reach by other means. Mechanical lifts enable employees to lift safely to an elevated work location. Normally, man lifts are utilized by service and construction workers to complete work on buildings, light poles and other places which are very up high to reach by other means.
Safety
The major factor when using a man lift is of course taking safety into account. Ladders are not a practical choice for extreme heights and thus man lifts are the best option for these kinds of places. Most of these machinery are outfitted with emergency shut-off switches and safety rails to make worker safety a top priority.
Range
Man lifts can reach heights that other machine is unable to. Initially utilized to pick fruit, the equipment has evolved to conquer multiple uses. For example, they are usually used for changing light bulbs and to do finishing work in the construction industry. Commonly, man lifts could reach heights of 20 to 100 feet.
There are smaller man lifts that could operate indoors to carry out tasks in places such as large office buildings, sports arenas and hotels. They could be powered with electricity. This eliminates the noxious fumes and the hazards associated with them.
Engine-Powered Boom Lifts
An engine-powered boom lift is the solution for employees who have to reach heights both efficiently and quickly. The boom lift allows for a much mobility, capable of moving in numerous directions. Boom lifts could also easily fit into narrow spaces. Each and every "joint" in the boom lift is controlled to adjust to different heights in order to place the worker exactly where he or she should be to be able to get the task done. The engine power system is what enables boom lifts to attain their full elevation in not a lot of time. Firefighters usually use engine powered boom lifts when they have to quickly ascend to heights during a rescue mission.
