The size of the telescopic boom lift you rent will depend on how far you're reaching. Straight and telescopic boom lifts can reach maximum heights between 40 ft to 180 ft depending on the model.

Question 10

Can telescopic boom lifts tip?

Accepted Answer

A telescopic boom lift can tip if the machine is lifting weight over maxium capacity. An operator should always take proper precautions and follow safety protocols to ensure the lift remains on stable ground at all times.

Question 11

Should I use an electric or gas-powered telescopic boom lift?

Accepted Answer

Electric-powered telescopic boom lifts are better for indoor use because they are quieter, less ventilation is needed, and it helps preserve the battery. Engine-powered telescopic boom lifts typically allow operators to reach higher heights, have higher platform capacities, and drive over rougher terrain than their electric versions. Just make sure to charge your electric model if you go that route.

Question 12

What's the difference between a telescopic boom lift vs a scissor lift?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is that scissor lifts can only move up and down while telescopic boom lifts can only move horizontally and vertically. Telescopic boom lifts also have smaller platforms which allows for fewer people and materials to be lifted. However, straight boom lifts can reach heights up to 180 ft, while scissor lifts can only go to 60 ft and with much less maneuverability.

Question 13

What's the difference between a telescopic boom lift vs an articulating boom lift?

Accepted Answer

While telescopic boom lifts can technically move both horizontally and vertically, it takes much more careful operation than it does for articulating boom lifts due to the fact they can only extend in one direction. Articulating boom lifts have a few pivot points, also called "knuckles", that allow for easier maneuverability around obstacles at different heights.

Question 14

What is the most common straight boom lift rental size?

Accepted Answer

The most common straight boom lift rental size is the 40 and 60-foot dual fuel models. This includes model like the JLG 400S, 600S, or 600AJ, Skyjack S61, or Genie S-40 HF, S-45HF, S-60 HF, or S-65 HF.

Question 15

What is the platform capacity of straight boom lifts?

Accepted Answer

The platform capacity of straight boom lifts is between 500 lbs and 1,000 lbs (restricted). The unrestricted vs restricted weight refers to the range of motion that telescopic boom lifts can work in at a specific weight. A best practice is that the higher the lift or further the reach, the lower the platform capacity. Make sure to refer to the equipment brochure to read the full specs about unrestricted and restricted platform capacity.
