Gradall Aerial Lifts San Diego

Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are made of a series of crisscrossed steel arms, connected to make an X pattern. When the crisscrossed arms are extended, the platform is raised vertically. There are support railings along the edges of the lifting mechanism to be able to help secure the workers' tools and keep them safe.



Scissor lifts provide a low profile which is great for hard dirt surfaces, concrete and pavement. These machines use either a combustion engine or electric motor in order to power the lifting apparatus and move the lift. The operator should move the lift itself if she or he needs to travel horizontally, because the lift apparatus only operates the lift in a vertical manner.



Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

Rough terrain scissor lifts utilize the identical lifting technology as a standard scissor lift. The key difference is that the rough terrain units feature a different base that is particularly made for uneven surfaces. These units also offer higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. The rough terrain scissor lifts utilize 4-wheel drive so as to easily navigate through muddy and difficult terrain.



Telescopic Boom Lift

Telescopic booms are made to be elevated both diagonally and vertically. This specific unit has a small work platform that houses controls to be able to control the boom. The controls function with a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics which power the boom and move the lift. The telescopic boom lift has off-road capable tires and is an independent lift model.



Articulating Boom Lift

There are two telescopic booms on the articulating boom lift. These are attached with a moving elbow mechanism. This lifting machinery has a bucket or a small work platform which is outfitted with hand controls to be able to control the boom. These are stand-alone lifts which are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are offered with either off-road or hard surface tires. These lifts are made to be able to reach over top of and on top of buildings.



Aerial Mast Lift

In order to lift a work platform vertically into the air, the aerial mast lift uses a telescopic mast. The lift is typically powered electrically or pneumatically and are self-propelled units. These machinery provide an excellent solution for working in high racks within narrow warehouse aisles. It is important to bear in mind that aerial mast lifts are not recommended for off-road use and are limited to vertical movement.
