Los elevadores son equipos de construcción que se utilizan para elevar materiales y personas a mayor altura. Los tres tipos principales de elevadores son los elevadores de pluma, los elevadores de tijera y los elevadores de materiales. Los elevadores de pluma constan de una plataforma/cubo, un brazo largo y una base en el suelo. Los elevadores de tijera son iguales que los elevadores de pluma, pero sólo pueden moverse hacia arriba y hacia abajo, no hacia delante.
Used lifts generally range in price from $8,000 - $70,000.
Popular brands include JLG, Skyjack, Haulotte, and Power Towers.
Lifts are used when a job requires reaching an elevation that a forklift or ladder can’t reach. This includes erecting scaffolding, picking fruit, painting structures, hanging highway signs, installing lighting, and even movie production.
Scissorlift: 4,700 lbs. Boom Lift: 20,000 lbs Material Lift: $500
Lifts take both workers and the operator high off the ground, making mismanagement potentially fatal. All operators and workers should wear a safety harness when on a boom lift. Other safety hazards include tipping, falling, and pinning. Never exceed a boom lift's maximum weight and range, use PPE, and operate based on the owner manual’s guidelines.
When buying a used lift, assess your needs, including the terrain, load/lifting requirements, height, and budget. When looking at specific brands and models, look at the reviews. Lastly, look at the maintenance record and features like self-driving, towable, telescoping, and articulating when looking at a particular unit.
The more hours a lift accumulates, the closer its components get to their limits. Specific parts to look at are the engine, panels and railings, hydraulics, operator controls, rotation/extension function, and platform condition.
The average lift operator in the United States makes $30,540 a year.
Lift operators must be aware of the risks they pose to their safety. OSHA requires that workers complete a certification process
