MEC Man Lift rentals in Conyers, GA

Articulating (or Knuckle) Booms have multiple joints, allowing the arm to bend and reach 'up and over' obstacles. They are ideal for complex jobsites with lots of obstructions. Telescopic (or Stick) Booms have a straight arm that extends, offering the maximum possible horizontal reach.

Man lifts are used to position workers and their tools at height in locations that are not easily accessible from directly below. They are essential for steel erection, electrical work, commercial painting, bridge inspection, and stadium maintenance.

A scissor lift only moves vertically up and down and has a larger platform. A man lift (boom lift) offers both vertical and horizontal reach, allowing it to access work areas that are not directly above the machine's base.

You need to know your required vertical height and horizontal outreach. Lifts are sized by their platform height (e.g., 45 ft, 60 ft, 80 ft). Ensure both the height and reach specifications on the machine you rent exceed your requirements.

Absolutely. OSHA requires comprehensive training and certification for any person operating a boom lift. This is critical due to the significant risks associated with working at height and the complex operation of the machinery.
