Equipmentshare Launches 60foot Boom Lifts for Construction Sector

Maintaining towering utility poles, repairing aging building facades, or working in rugged terrain presents significant challenges. Traditional scaffolding proves cumbersome and inefficient, while conventional aerial work platforms struggle with uneven ground conditions. The solution to these high-altitude operations may lie in 60-foot diesel-powered articulating boom lifts.

EquipmentShare recently announced the availability of 60-foot diesel articulating boom lift rentals, offering a safe and efficient solution for outdoor high-altitude tasks including utility maintenance and building repairs. These lifts have gained industry recognition for their exceptional horizontal reach and superior off-road capabilities.

Unlike traditional scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts excel in horizontal extension capability. Within the 60-foot class, these machines typically achieve 40 to 50 feet of horizontal reach, allowing operators to access work areas from safe distances. For example, utility workers can perform maintenance on power lines without approaching dangerous high-voltage cables.

The diesel-powered models feature rough-terrain drive systems that provide stable operation across uneven surfaces. Whether navigating muddy construction sites, steep slopes, or rocky ground, these lifts deliver reliable performance and power to ensure both safety and productivity.

Safety remains paramount in high-altitude operations. The 60-foot diesel articulating boom lifts incorporate multiple protective systems including overload protection and tilt alarms. With platform load capacities ranging from 500 to 1,000 pounds, these units accommodate multiple workers simultaneously.

These versatile machines serve numerous industries:

• Utility Maintenance: Power line inspection, replacement, and pole maintenance
• Building Restoration: Exterior painting, cleaning, repairs, and glass curtain wall installation
• Bridge Inspection: Structural examination, maintenance, and reinforcement
• Arboriculture: Tall tree trimming, shaping, and pest control
• Industrial Maintenance: Large equipment servicing and upkeep

EquipmentShare's fleet includes models like the JLG 600S, renowned for its operational excellence. This unit features:

• Working Height: Approximately 60-foot platform height with 66-foot maximum reach
• Extension Capacity: 50-foot horizontal outreach
• Load Rating: Dual capacity of 500/1,000 pounds
• Terrain Capability: Four-wheel drive for challenging environments
• Safety Systems: Comprehensive protection mechanisms

For many businesses, purchasing a 60-foot diesel articulating boom lift represents a substantial capital investment. Rental options provide cost-effective flexibility, allowing companies to select appropriate models and rental periods without assuming maintenance, storage, or depreciation expenses. Professional maintenance services ensure equipment reliability throughout rental periods.
