Boom Lift Rental Sydney

A boom lift, or aerial work platform, is a powered access platform or bucket attached to a long arm. The platform can be extended upward and angled so an operator can access a work area high off the ground. Australian Boom & Scissor Lift supplies boom lifts for use when performing tasks in elevated and difficult-to-reach areas.



You might consider renting a boom lift for erecting a large structure such as a tent or stage set, working on construction sites, or maintaining buildings and infrastructure. In warehouses and factories where high shelves, ceiling lights, elevated cables, and other features need to be accessed, boom lift rental is the ideal solution. Indoor boom lifts have an advantage over scaffolding because they are easily adjustable, can be quickly moved around, and can operate in tight spaces.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE RENTING AN INDOOR BOOM LIFT

Here are three things to consider before you decide to rent an indoor boom lift.

Area access and floor surfaces: Doorways and aisles must be wide enough for the boom lift to get in. There should be enough space at the work site for the boom to move around. Check that there are ramps to different levels and that angled surfaces are slip-free. When using a fuel-powered boom lift, make sure the area is well-ventilated.

Choose the right type: The first considerations are the height at which work needs to be carried out and the weight that needs to be lifted. Smaller boom lifts are ideal for tasks such as power cable maintenance or window cleaning and painting. The lighter the load carried in the bucket, the higher the boom lift can be elevated. If heavy equipment or construction materials need to be lifted, a bigger boom can be the best fit.

When direct access to a work site is not available, consider a knuckle boom lift or telescoping boom lift that can reach up and over obstacles. If the boom lift is primarily needed to access vertical structures such as high shelving, a mast boom lift is ideal. Electric boom lifts are preferable for indoor work because they are less noisy and don’t produce hazardous fumes.

Safety and training: A safety inspection and assessment of environmental hazards should always be done before operating a boom lift. Communication is the key to safety. When planning to operate a boom lift, make sure contractors and personnel on-site are aware of it. Visual and auditory warnings that a boom lift is in operation will ensure workers stay clear of masts and moving equipment.

Personnel operating the boom lift should be licenced and make use of harnesses and safety gear. Safety and operational training is mandatory before renting a boom lift.

Boom lifts make access to elevated, difficult-to-reach areas possible. Compared to traditional elevators such as ladders and scaffolding, boom lifts are easier to move and manoeuvre and take up less space. When doing construction and repair, operators can complete work fast and safely, which saves money. Consider contacting Australian Boom & Scissor Lift for your indoor boom lift rental.
