Elevated Working Platforms are used in a variety of industries at construction sites and facilities around the world. Boom lifts are especially suitable for applications where workers, tools, and materials need to be lifted higher to complete the task. There are two main types of boom lifts in the market today: articulated and telescopic boom lifts. Choosing the right boom for your project will determine how efficient, safe and profitable your project is. Knowing the difference between these two outriggers will help you make the right choice.

“Articulating booms are aerial work platforms with multiple boom sections that hinge — or “articulate” — allowing the operator to gain access to work areas over obstacles and barriers. Also referred to as “knuckle booms” or “up-and-over booms,” these versatile products are perfect for tight access and hard-to-reach areas.” (genielift.com)
Our range of Knuckle Booms range from 12m to 41m. You can see the full range on our website here.
“Telescopic booms are aerial work platforms with boom sections that extend telescopically. They are also commonly known as “stick” booms because of their straight appearance. Telescopic booms offer greater horizontal outreach than any other type of aerial platform — ideal for areas with limited access in construction, industrial, entertainment, road building, bridge work, painting and inspection applications.” (genielift.com)
