Greater horizontal outreach can be acquired with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These kinds of machines are excellent for locations that offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
Telescopic booms have reach capacities varying from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units offer working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom classification typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the machine's capacity.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite because they provide the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job done. While the machines are made really large to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within tight areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units enable the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Additionally, several specialized models offer extendable axles which offer stability and retract for easy transportation. There are multiple diesel engine choices available on the market too.
Lift Options
Choosing the best lift to meet all their requirements would enable operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. Additionally, customizing the chosen lift would help make certain that employees get the specific equipment they need for projects.

Platform accessories may include the following items: half-height mesh, fluorescent tube caddy, auxiliary top railing, control box cover, tool tray, work lights and welder leads.
There are so many different options and attachments available on the market today. Companies are trying to diversify their machines as much as possible in order to meet all their various customer needs. It is worth the research to know what particular options your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of utilizing.
