The Benefits of a Man Lift
Man lifts provide a safe and easy way to fix problems at areas that are too high to reach by other ways. Mechanical lifts enable employees to lift safely to an elevated work location. Normally, man lifts are utilized by construction and service workers to carry out work on buildings, light poles and other places that are too up high to reach by other ways.
Safety
The main factor when utilizing a man lift is of course taking safety into account. Ladders are not a practical alternative for extreme heights and thus man lifts are the perfect option for these places. The majority of these machinery are outfitted with emergency shut-off switches and safety rails to make worker safety a main concern.
Range
Man lifts can reach certain heights that other equipment cannot reach. This machinery was first used to pick fruit, but has evolved to take on other jobs. For instance, they are usually used to do finishing work in the construction industry and changing light bulbs. Usually, man lifts are capable of reaching heights of 20 to 100 feet.
Some man lift models are small enough to be brought indoors to be able to raise employees to complete finishing structures in places such as big office buildings, sports arenas and hotels. They are capable of being powered with electricity. This eliminates the harmful fumes and the hazards associated with them.
Engine-Powered Boom Lifts
If employees need to be transported to their height destination quickly and efficiently, an engine-powered boom lift is the solution. Boom lifts offer a wide range of mobility. These equipment are also capable of being moved in various directions. Boom lifts could easily fit between narrow spaces as well. Each and every "joint" in the boom lift is controlled to adjust to various heights in order to place the worker precisely where she or he needs to be in order to get the task done. The engine power system is what enables boom lifts to reach their full elevation quickly. Firefighters usually use engine powered boom lifts when there are on a rescue mission and need to rapidly ascend to heights.
