Articulated boom lifts are a subset of the class of heavy machinery known as aerial work platforms (AWP). Articulated boom lifts are most commonly referred to as 'cherry pickers' due to the origins of the articulated boom lift. The articulated boom lift was designed for use in orchards, although not exclusiely for cherry orchards.
Articulated boom lifts are mostly hydraulically powered and most closely resemble a crane in appearance. It lets a person stand in the basket and have a greater range of motion. Where a standard man lift can raise or lower a person, the articulated boom lift can raise up and down as well as extend horizontally.
Articulated boom lifts are used in a wide variety of maintenance and construction projects, and almost exclusively used in the power, telecommunications and arboriculture industries. Another type of articulated boom lift is frequently found in fire fighting and rescue.
There are a number of manufacturers of that produce articulated boom lifts of varying size and weight limits. Some of these include: Genie, Upright, Grove, JLG, Snorkel, Sky Jack and others.
