Aerial Lift Types Explained

Genie Boom (Telescopic Boom):
Designed for narrow work areas, these lifts are used in both construction and industrial settings. Their vertical platform allows workers to reach elevated areas, and operators must undergo safety training due to the heights involved.

Scissor Lift:
Ideal for maintenance tasks, these lifts are easy to set up and typically used for tasks that require a stable, elevated platform.

Bucket Truck:
Commonly used for personnel elevation in areas that ladders cannot reach. These trucks often feature a single or double-arm boom and are made of materials such as fiberglass or metal.

Use the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Adhere strictly to the equipment’s weight capacity limits.
