What is Articulating Boom Lift?

An articulating boom lift, also known as a knuckle boom lift, has a work platform on an extended arm that can reach up and over obstacles, resembling your finger when you bend it. It contains multiple sections that can articulate at various angles, allowing the operator to reach over and above obstacles. 

Articulating boom lift offers more flexibility compared to telescopic boom lift because an articulating boom platform can reach out to complex and narrow areas safely and efficiently. Articulating boom lifts have a turntable at the base which allows the lift to swivel in a full circle.

What is Telescopic Boom Lift?

A telescopic boom lift also called a stick boom or straight boom has a boom that “telescopes” straight out from the boom hoist, which is attached to the lift chassis. Besides, it uses hydraulics to extend straight with greater horizontal reach or bring in two main sections, which makes the telescoping boom lift very stable. 

The telescopic boom lift allows quick boom extension and offers extended outreach. It has active oscillating axles and four-wheel drive, ensuring maximum terrain ability and traction.
