Greater horizontal outreach can be attained with telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These machinery are great for places that offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height so as to identify the capacity of the machinery.
Telescopic booms are really productive on the worksite as they provide the traction, speed and torque needed to get the job done. Though the machinery are made huge enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within tight areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain models enable the rugged jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Furthermore, several specialized models provide extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are various diesel engine options offered on the market as well.
Lift Options
Choosing the best lift to suit all their needs would allow operators to maximize their productivity on the jobsite. As well, customizing the chosen lift would really help ensure that workers get the specific machinery they really need for projects.

Operators might have to choose from steel platforms ranging in size from 1.22 meters to 2.44 meters or from 4 to 8 feet. There are various kinds of platform accessories available to help modify the lift for its particular application. Platform accessories could consist of the following things: fluorescent tube caddy, half-height mesh, control box cover, auxiliary top railing, welder leads, tool tray and work lights.
There are so many different options and attachments available on the market today. Companies are attempting to diversify their machinery as much as possible in order to satisfy their many different customer needs. It is worth the research to find out what particular alternatives your telescopic boom lift has the capabilities of utilizing.
