Articulated Boom Lifts
Articulating Boom Lifts for Sale – New and Used Articulating Lifts
Articulating boom lifts, also known as knuckle boom lifts, are versatile aerial work platforms designed to provide safe access to elevated and hard-to-reach work areas. Unlike scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts feature multiple hinged boom sections that allow the platform to move both vertically and horizontally, making them ideal for working around obstacles.
This category features new and used articulating boom lifts for sale from equipment dealers and private sellers. Listings include electric and diesel-powered models suitable for indoor maintenance, outdoor construction, industrial applications, utilities, and facility management. Buyers can compare technical specifications, working heights, platform capacities, operating hours, and overall machine condition before making a purchase.
What is an articulating boom lift?
An articulating boom lift is a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) equipped with a jointed boom that allows operators to reach locations that cannot be accessed using straight boom lifts or scissor lifts. The articulated sections provide excellent flexibility when working above roofs, machinery, pipelines, trees, or other obstacles.
Working heights typically range from around 10 metres to more than 40 metres, depending on the model and manufacturer.
