There are so many varieties of construction equipment available that their designations may seem utterly confusing at first, and for those looking to rent them, this can be frustrating. A good way to understand what type of tool you’ll need for the job is to understand how they work and what their motion limitations are, so that your upraised construction project doesn’t run into any snags, which can often be literal. Branches, power lines and even parts of the building your crew is trying to modify may all get in the way of their speedy completion of a job, and such time delays can mean a major loss of money. When you just need to get one or two workers up into the air to make repairs, aerial lifts will move them there without fail.
Aerial lifts generally don’t have extendable booms, but rather a flexing, elbow like joint in the middle of a rotating arm. When the arm is not extended and in use, it is folded back so that it simply rests on the top of the vehicle base it is attached to. All aerial lifts are rated for certain amounts of weight, which generally don’t allow for more than the workers and some tools, but some have special mounts attached to the outside of their lift buckets for whatever small cargoes need to be hoisted.
Aerial lifts can be costly, as they are full of specialized equipment that requires regular maintenance. This has led to the widespread availability of cheap, time-based rentals that allow a company to pick up equipment ready to go.
When someone is extended out at the end of the arm hanging over power lines or other dangerous fixtures like sharp fences, the aerial lift’s heavy base easily compensates for their weight. Lifts that are overloaded may begin to tilt, as smaller models not rated for high capacity often lack sufficient balancing equipment, such as the padded legs found stabilizing many extendable sliding boom lifts. When you get an aerial lift from a rental company, don’t forget to check it over for safety and always review the accompanying operating manual.

What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Both transform boundaries and divergent boundaries involve movement of Earth's tectonic plates. However, transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving away from each other.
Where are the 3 major kinds of boundaries?
Convergent boundaries (plates moving toward each other, also called destructive boundaries), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other (sometimes called constructive boundaries), fault lines (sideways movement).
What is the purpose of an edge tile in a tile-based game?
The purpose of an edge tile in a tile-based game is to define the boundaries of the game world and prevent players from moving beyond the designated playing area.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
Insterting facts about divergent boundaries?
Divergent Boundaries - A boundary between two lithoperic plates that are moving apart .
What are workers stationed at a moving track to attach parts called?
Workers stationed at a moving track to attach parts are often referred to as assembly line workers or line workers. Their role involves inserting components into products as they move along the production line.
What are the four plate boundaries?
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
What is boundaries between two plates that are moving apart?
divergent boundary
The edges of moving crustal plates are often defined by?
The edges of moving crustal plates are often defined by tectonic plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. These boundaries are important in understanding the processes of earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
Why are the Andes mountains moving?
The Andes mountains are moving because of the plate boundaries it is placed on, and as the plates moves the mountain must move with it.
The places between plates moving together are called?
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
