60ft Diesel Knuckle Boom Hi-Capacity Lift

Aerial work platforms with several boom sections that hinge, which allow the operator to access work areas above impediments and barriers. These adaptable items, often known as knuckle booms are ideal for narrow access and hard-to-reach regions. Aerial work platforms with telescoping boom sections are known as telescopic booms. Because of their straight appearance, they are sometimes known as straight booms. Telescopic booms have a wider horizontal reach than any other type of aerial platform, making them excellent for applications such as construction, industrial, entertainment, road construction when access is restricted.

Telescopic boom lifts typically reach higher heights than knuckle boom lifts. This is mainly because of the straight boom lift's hydraulics, which make the base more stable than its counterpart. 

Every job has a different requirement and different environment. These are the things that you need to consider before inquiring about a boom lift hire in Melbourne. 

Yes. Just like scissor lifts, boom lifts can also tip over in unfortunate circumstances. Aerial work platform mishaps of this kind are the one of the most common lift related accidents in the industry. The higher the platform is lifted, the greater chance that its base becomes more unstable. 

There are several factors that can cause boom lift tip overs. Here are just a few of them: 

• Unexperienced operators 
• Boom lift is positioned on a slope
• Choosing the wrong lift for the job
• Extreme weather like snowstorms, strong winds, or heavy rains
• Exceeding the maximum load capacity
• Moving the boom lift while the basket is lifted
