How to Choose the Right Boom Lift

Working Height & Horizontal Reach

  • Determine the maximum height you need to reach and how far outward the platform must extend to clear obstacles like equipment or buildings
  • Boom lifts provide far greater horizontal outreach than scissor lifts, making them the right choice when you need to work up and over an obstruction
  • Telescopic boom lifts feature a straight arm for reaching maximum height and distance, while articulating boom lifts have hinged joints for reaching up, over and around obstacles

Terrain & Site Surface

Platform Capacity & Power Source

  • Confirm the combined weight of workers, tools and materials the platform must carry, and choose a boom lift rated with headroom above that total
  • Electric boom lifts are quieter and emissions-free for indoor work, while diesel models deliver more power and range for outdoor and rough-terrain jobs
  • Verify the power source and platform capacity together so the lift performs safely at your required height and load
