AERIAL LIFT & CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT RENTAL

To choose the proper piece of aerial lift equipment for the job, you need to first identify what the job requires:

• If you need a large work platform and need to lift a lot of weight or several people, a scissor lift is perfect for the job.
• If you need to lift just one individual, extreme lifting heights, or need to reach out over or around objects, a boom lift is a great choice.
• If you need to move material to extreme heights over extreme terrain, a telescopic boom lift will get the job done.

Lifting heights are typically measured in feet and range from 12 to 80 feet high. The lifting height is typically measured in feet and ranges from 12 to 80 feet high. The height also determines what type of aerial equipment you will need and the limitations of that equipment. 

Lifting heights are typically measured in feet and range from 12 to 80 feet high. The height also determines what type of aerial equipment you will need and the limitations of that equipment. Make sure you take the measurement carefully. 

You will also need to determine the amount of weight that you will be lifting. Several people, supplies, and tools add up quickly. Make sure not to overload the aerial equipment,

Determine the type of terrain the aerial equipment needs to travel over. Concrete, blacktop, gravel, grass, dirt or if there are ramps or tight turns involved. 

Terrain that the scissor lift, boom lift, or any aerial lift wasn’t designed for can stop if right in its tracks if not properly determined. Rough terrain models are generally larger (bigger tires are required) and there less maneuverable. Equipment is available with four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and adjustable suspensions for uneven ground. Identify terrain problems such as hills, ramps, mud and obstacles as these will help determine the right aerial lift for the application.

Choose from an electric aerial lift, LP aerial lift, gas aerial lift, or diesel-powered aerial lift. Generally, larger equipment uses internal combustion engines. On smaller equipment, you may have your choice of several types of power. Choose one that is appropriate for the job, and don’t put a gas-powered unit in a confined space. 

Make sure the drop-off point is equipped with a loading dock or ground top.
