We’ve added a potentially critical element of your operation to our catalog of warehouse equipment- Skyjack Aerial Equipment. Scissor lifts, boom lifts and man lifts are now available through us for purchase or rental.
Colloquially known as “cherry-pickers” these versatile lifts can be the addition to your facility you’ve been looking for- they’re made to move materials and your employees vertically!
In fact, aerial machinery can manage a lot of jobs more efficiently and more safely than other pieces of equipment- improving safety and saving you money in the long run IF you have the right piece of gear for the right job.
Scissor lifts are built to move your people and some equipment or materials high in the air, some models as high as 60 feet. They can help employees in places where otherwise a scaffolding or high ladder might be necessary. Scissor lifts do still require safety harnesses and cables, but a fall is much less likely out of a scissor lift than a scaffolding or some wonky ladder.
Some of these aerial lifts have smaller baskets and are designed to get one or sometimes two workers into high, difficult places to reach. They can move not only vertically, but horizontally as well, away from the base of the unit. Clearly, these machines require a low center of gravity to avoid tipping over (some employ outriggers to provide more balance).
Many of the same considerations given to forklifts are in play for these aerial lifts as well. Non-marking tires and rough-terrain units are available so give careful consideration to the use you are expecting of these machines.
Many scissor and boom lifts have no emissions and operate very quietly.
Our material-handling equipment doesn’t end with forklifts. If you’ve got your sights, and your workload, set a little higher than a forklift can manage, consider an aerial unit from us. Give us a call once you’ve assessed your needs, and we can help get you moving upward.
