Articulating boom lift, also called knuckle boom man lift, is an aerial work platform equipped with an electric drive system, which adjusts height and distance through one or more jointed arm segments. This design allows the electric swing arm crane to move flexibly in both vertical and horizontal directions, which is especially suitable for situations where it is necessary to work around obstacles. Articulating boom lifts are commonly used in construction, industrial maintenance, facilities management, landscaping, and other areas that require high-altitude operations. According to the different bases, it can be divided into several main types: self propelled boom lift, Trailer Mounted Boom Lift, crawler electric boom crane, and fixed electric boom crane.

As one subcategory of articulated boom lift platform, trailer boom lifts are widely used in highways, boat yards shopping walls, stadiums, dock, station, marketplaces, gymnasiums and residential property, workshop, residential property, mining workshops and any other isometric maintenance operation of complex high-altitude construction and other large range homework place.
From an environmental perspective:
The electric articulating lift type has no emissions and is environmentally friendly. It is especially suitable for indoor or places with strict environmental protection requirements. Diesel boom lift exhausts emissions, which has a certain impact on the environment and is more suitable for outdoor use.
In terms of noise level:
The articulated boom lift platform operates with low noise and little interference to the surrounding environment. It is suitable for places that require a quiet environment, such as hospitals, schools, office areas, etc. Diesel type: The operation is noisy and may cause interference to the surrounding environment and personnel.
From an operating cost perspective:
Articulated platform lift such as knuckle boom man lift drives cost less than diesel fuel and have relatively low maintenance costs because the electric motor has a simpler structure than an internal combustion engine and has fewer wear parts. Diesel type: Fuel costs and maintenance costs are relatively high, especially when fuel prices increase.
