Choose The Right Aerial Lift

The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the Electric Articulating Boom Lift industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.

First let’s start by explaining the differences between the different types of MEWP’s

Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts have a base that is the same size as the work platform and are designed to lift personnel and their equipment vertically. Most modern scissor lifts come equipped with an extension deck that will allow a minimum of horizontal reach. Scissor lifts are typically available in platform heights that range from 15 to over 50 feet high.

There are two basic types of scissor lifts

Electric Slab Scissor Lift

This type of scissor lift has a low ground clearance and is best suited for inside jobs on a concrete floor where very low emissions are required. Most electric scissor lifts are equipped with non-marking tires. Narrow widths are available that can easily go through a 36” framed door opening.

Engine Powered and Hybrid Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

This type of scissor lift can be used to travel over rough terrain to where the work is needed. Available in diesel, dual fuel (gas & LP), hybrid (comes equipped with an onboard gas powered generator that can charge the batteries when needed even when no electric service is available) and 4 wheel drive as options. Some models are equipped with outriggers for elevating on sloped surfaces. Rough terrain scissor lifts generally allow higher occupancy and weight limits.

Boom Lifts

Boom lifts are an excellent solution for hard-to-reach jobs and/or jobs that require considerable heights, delivering a stable and secure work platform. Boom lifts are typically available in platform heights that range from 30 to 135 feet high.

Boom Lifts are available in three types:

Telescopic Boom Lifts

This type of MEWP has a maneuverable boom that extends in a straight line from a base. Telescopic boom lifts offer the greatest horizontal reach of all aerial lifts. They are available in diesel or dual fuel (gas & LP) power options as well as 4 wheel drive and can travel safely over rough terrain outdoors.

Articulating Boom Lifts

These mobile elevating work platforms are equipped with a movable boom arm with multiple sections that hinge or articulate, allowing the operator to gain access to work areas over obstacles and barriers. Also referred to as knuckle booms or up-and-over booms, these versatile MEWP’s are perfect for tight access and hard-to-reach areas.

Engine powered articulating boom lifts (available in dual fuel and diesel power options) are an excellent choice when a combination of vertical lift, horizontal reach and rough terrain maneuverability is needed.

Electric articulating boom lifts offer quiet, emission free operation in an indoor environment where the surface is firm and level such as a concrete floor.

Towable Boom Lifts

Trailer mounted or towable boom lifts let you tackle many of the same jobs as other electric or engine powered booms, but with an extremely portable transportation option. They can be hooked up to the bumper hitch of most pickup trucks and towed by the operator to the job site without the need of heavy equipment transport. Available in gas or electric power, towable boom lifts are great for construction, exterior painting, decorating or maintenance tasks.

Vertical Mast Lifts

Also known as personnel lifts, these vertical elevating lifts are ideal for warehousing, stock-picking, inventory management, and general maintenance. Relatively light weight, compact and great when space is limited. They can increase your overall productivity. Available in self-propelled electric and push around options and are best used on a firm level surface such as a concrete floor.
