Greater horizontal outreach can be attained with telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform. These equipment are ideal for locations that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
Telescopic booms have reach capacities ranging from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification usually includes a reference to the boom's platform height so as to identify the machine's capacity.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite because they provide the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job completed. Though the machines are made large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain units enable the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Furthermore, some specialized units offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine alternatives offered on the market as well.
