Skyjack Articulating Boom Lifts Houston

What Is an Articulating Boom Lift?

The articulated boom lift is a heavy duty machinery capable of performing various jobs from construction applications to electrical repair. These highly maneuverable lifts make working at heights much efficient and safer.



Height

Knuckle boom lifts are another term used for articulating boom lifts. These machinery can reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the specific lift.



Design

Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms that enable the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things and also upwards.



Telescoping vs. Articulating

Both straight or telescoping boom lifts can work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not have elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas that are able to be reached with it.



Advantages

The articulating boom lift design makes them the most able to negotiate around obstacles and objects. These lifts have zero tail swing, are convenient for indoor application and available in electrical models. These particular kinds of lifts are perfect for crowded work situations.



SJ 46AJ

The A-Series Articulating Boom engineered by Skyjack was designed for utilizing many of their dependable and effective design features. The SJ 46AJ provides an industry leading, 360 degree continuous turret rotation that is standard equipped. Thanks to the turret design allowing for easy operation in tight spaces, this specific model offers zero tail swing too.



Skyjack is known for offering positive traction and extreme terrain ability. These features are offered by the axle based 4WD, which is offered in many of Skyjack's product designs. These machines are known for having a dependable and rugged drive train and proven low maintenance. Additionally, the AJ has been designed with a rear axle hydraulic differential unlock and lock switch. This enables the operator to lock the rear differential when traveling on rough terrain.
