Articulated Boom Lifts: The Flexible Solution for Working at Height

When your project requires safe access to hard-to-reach areas, articulated boom lifts provide the perfect combination of reach and flexibility. At Dromad Hire, we supply a full range of articulated boom lifts from trusted brands such as Skyjack, Snorkel, and Dingli — available for both hire and approved ex-rental sale.

Whether you’re a site manager, contractor, or facilities professional, understanding what makes articulated booms unique can help you choose the right machine for the job.

What Is an Articulated Boom Lift?
An articulated boom lift is a type of powered access platform designed with multiple jointed sections, or “knuckles.” Unlike straight boom lifts, these joints allow the machine to bend and move around obstacles, making them ideal for tasks where up-and-over reach is essential.

Typical working heights range from 33ft to 85ft, giving operators safe access to elevated work areas on construction, maintenance, and industrial sites.

Key Benefits of Articulated Boom Lifts

Reach Difficult Areas
Articulated booms are designed to work around barriers such as walls, machinery, or shelving, giving operators access where a straight lift cannot reach.

Enhanced Safety at Height
With robust platforms, guard rails, and precise control systems, articulated booms provide a stable and secure solution for working at height.

Indoor & Outdoor Flexibility
Depending on the model, articulated booms are available with electric, diesel, or hybrid power options — suitable for both indoor facilities work and demanding outdoor sites.

Increased Productivity
By reducing the need for scaffolding or ladders, boom lifts save time and enable teams to complete jobs more efficiently.

Typical Applications for Articulated Boom Lifts

• Construction – access to high points on building exteriors.

• Facilities Maintenance – repairing or installing lighting, ducting, and signage.

• Warehousing – safe access around shelving and racking.

• Industrial Plants – working over machinery or tight equipment layouts.

• Painting & Electrical Work – safe, efficient elevated access for finishing tasks.
