Types of Man Lifts
Manlifts are offered in three major kinds: Boom Lifts, Personnel Lifts and Scissor Lifts. Designed specifically for single-users cases, personnel lifts are vertical travel buckets.

Boom Lifts are buckets situated at the end of jointed or extendable arms. These machines are ideal if you should reach up and over obstacles, because nearly all other equipment only move straight upward and downward.

These kinds of booms are normally referred to as knuckle booms and can position the bucket into the exact location which it has to be. Articulating booms are common in the utility industry where working near obstacles such as trees, and power lines make positioning tricky. These booms are likewise common place in plant maintenance where they allow employees to reach over immovable machinery.
