FAQ
Q1. Can a boom lift be used on rough or sloped ground?
A: Yes, rough terrain boom lifts are specifically designed for use on uneven, sloped, or soft ground. They are equipped with four-wheel drive, oscillating axles, and large, rugged tires that provide excellent traction and stability. These features make them ideal for outdoor construction, tree work, or maintenance on difficult terrain. Always ensure the ground conditions are within the lift’s rated specifications and follow all safety guidelines during use.
Q2. Do I need any licensing/ certification to use a Boom lift?
A. According to WorkSafe, a high-risk work license for EWPs (elevated work platforms) is not required for any piece of machinery with operating work platforms of less than 11m from the base level (ground). Therefore all booms can be used by the open public.
Q3. How high does a Boom lift go?
A. The height of a Boom lift is dependent on which machine you hire, with that being said, machinery sizes range from ground level (0m) to the highest being around 14m (40ft) platform height. The most popular sizes are 10m and 13m lifts.
Q4.What's the difference between a scissor lift and a boom lift?
A.There are two distinct types of access platforms, usually called scissor lifts and boom lifts (or sometimes cherry pickers). The difference between the two is that a scissor lift can usually only move vertically, whereas a boom lift has an outreach, to work above areas not accessible from directly below.
Q5. Is there any safety equipment required for a Boom lift?
A. Generally speaking fall protection is advised for any heights above 1.8m (6ft) off the ground, protections of this nature include a safety harness, fall arrestor, inertia reel and safety clips (all of which can be hired from Smart Hire).
