• The articulated telescopic boom lift consists of a fixed frame or a rotating stool that can be rotated up to 360° and several articulated parts that can be controlled. These allow the lifting basket to move in several different directions, and in these directions, the articulated aerial platform can extend the reach.
• The operator of the basket hoist can perform vertical, horizontal, and rotational movements, where the basket is automatically levelled by the system – regardless of the position of the jib.
• However, for some work platforms, it is also possible to change the angle of inclination of the basket, allowing up to 90° for work in extremely difficult areas.
• There are also models that are capable of not only upward , but also downward extension. These aerial platforms allow safe work at a certain lower level, for example in gravel pits, utility trenches or other deeper trenches, such as those dug on construction sites.
• Aerial lifts also include models with non-marking tyres, ideal for indoor use in warehouses, production halls and for use in stores.
• Several models of articulated telescopic boom lifts are designed with the cardinal aspects of outdoor businesses considered, for example, with four-wheel drive or oscillating axles that are specifically suited for moving over uneven terrain. They are equipped with tyres that are also adapted to rough terrain.
• The articulated telescopic work platforms are designed to work on a solid, flat surface. However, it is also possible to work on slopes, as indicated by the gripping capacity data for each machine type, which is always included in the individual manual.
• Whether the aerial platform is working on a flat surface or on a slope, the outrigger must be made to work in accordance with the weather conditions and the works to be done. The outrigger provides a wide, stable base for safe working.

Aerial work platforms are widely used for all types of maintenance, construction and extraction such as:

• In the construction of industrial halls, in all phases of the work, from the construction of the structural elements to the installation of the side panels and the slab
• Access to overhead lines in the energy and telecommunications sectors
• In logging, to provide an independent working surface for damaged or rotten branches at a high height, for example.

Other fields of potential use of basket lifts are:

• building maintenance
• building construction
• electrical installation
• installation of HEVAC systems (cooling, heating, air conditioning)
• landscape architecture
• manufacturing plants
• plumbing
• roofing
• window washing
• warehousing and logistics
• utility maintenance

• The basket can be manoeuvred up, down and sideways
• The work platform fits even in narrow work areas
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor use (depending on model)
• The telescopic “joints” of the jib can maximise the reach
• Able to provide safe working conditions for workers in difficult-to-reach areas
