What is a Articulating Boom Lift?

An articulating boom lift, also known as an “knuckle boom lift” or “cherry picker”, is a type of mobile elevated work platform that is commonly used to provide access to levels of height that are difficult to reach. The articulated boom consists of multiple jointed sections that can be adjusted to extend the reach of the platform in various angles and directions. These machines are particularly useful in construction, warehouses, distributions centers, maintenance needs, and for contractors in a variety of industries.

Maneuverability: articulating boom lifts can be driven in tight spaces, making them ideal for urban environments. Platform Capacity: these machines have larger platform capacity which allows for more people or equipment to be lifted safely.
