How to Properly Use A Boom Lift?
Boom lifts are helping workers everyday access areas that are high up above certain obstacles. Operating a boom lift is not too hard but it is not too simple either. One has to know the correct steps to take to make sure that they properly work a boom lift to access these areas. Below are the steps that you can use to learn how to operate a boom lift. 1. First and foremost you have to look around the machine to see that you are going to be operating the boom lift on a stable location. You do not want the boom lift to be toppled over. While doing this you can also take a look at the boom lift to see if there are any noticeable anomalies as a precaution. 2. Switch on the boom lift and on the input controls choose either ‘ground’ or ‘base’. This base mounted control is what you are going to be using. You can then switch from either ground or base to ‘platform’. 3. Make sure that you buckle up for safety. 4. Move over to the operation functions. On the operation function, change the setting to ‘drive’. This will enable you to move the boom lift forward or backwards in reverse. You can turn the wheels to point in the direction that you want to go. 5. Carefully drive the boom lift as close as possible to the area that you are going to be working from. The further you are the harder it is going to be for you to access what you want. 6. Once close to the work area, you can now raise the boom arm that is connected to the basket you are sitting or standing in. The second boom arm can then also be extended for some additional height. 7. When the second boom arm has been extended to maximum, you can then raise the articulated boom. This order of raising the booms is important to be done in exactly this manner so as to maintain the stability of the boom lift. You can then adjust the angles and or the height of each boom arm appropriately to reach your work area.
