Construction and maintenance jobs often require lifting workers high in the air to access hard-to-reach areas. Mobile elevated work platforms like boom lifts provide the solution. They can bring workers up to perform construction tasks like installing electrical gear or performing maintenance tasks like window washing and tree trimming.
When you need to work high in the air but don't want to buy new equipment, rent from Thompson Rents. We rent equipment in the Florida Panhandle and Alabama to ensure every local contractor can access the tools and machinery they need.
View Boom Lifts NowWe rent many varieties of electric and gas lifts for indoor and outdoor work. Depending on your chosen model, these lifts can elevate workers between 30 and 135 feet above the ground. They also have varying form factors, meaning they fit in different areas. Consider the platform capacity before you choose a lift to discover what it can hold.
Here's an overview of our options to help you select the best machine for your situation.
When you need easy portability, a tow-behind knuckle boom rental works well. These lifts attach to a vehicle for easy transport. Once moved into place, they have four extendable legs to provide stability. They work best for confined spaces that require you to lift one worker. The joints in the boom allow them to bend in various directions and maneuver over obstacles, so they work well for applications like electrical and piping repairs, exterior cleaning, and maintenance.
Rather than lift with a series of joints, this equipment uses telescoping boom sections to raise its load. This machine works best for bringing workers into position and holding them there and offers the furthest reach of the various lift styles. However, It does need more space to operate and can't move up and over obstacles like a knuckle boom model. You can use these lifts when obstacles or terrain prevent close access.
Able to fit in confined and narrow access areas, an articulating manlift can accomplish jobs requiring the greatest agility. The bending arm reaches up and over obstacles rather than moving straight up like a telescopic lift. Smaller versions of these machines can serve indoor applications like building maintenance, while larger equipment works well for outdoor tasks like tree trimming in parks.
