Scissor Lift

A scissor lift is designed to move workers and their equipment in an indoor or outdoor setting. It is either operated by the worker on the platform or by a set of controls located on the base of the machine. Scissor lifts generally range in heights from 19 to 59 feet and can be electric or fuel-powered.

Telehandler

A telehandler is a hydraulic lift machine that is designed to move, lift, carry, and place materials. The telehandler is also known as a cherry picker and was originally used in agricultural settings, like in orchards! The operator moves the arm from the cab.

Telescopic Boom

Telescopic boom lifts utilize a long arm that extends straight. It uses at least one section to extend from the ground up and can have several sections to extend to extreme heights. They can carry materials and workers.

Articulating Boom

Articulating boom lifts are different because they have pivot points that allow the platform to move upward and over, rather than just straight in the air. These are ideal for difficult to reach areas with obstacles because it has more flexibility in its movement. It can also be used to carry materials and workers.
