A telescopic boom lift has a mast that extends in a straight line through the use of one or more telescopic boom sections. This design gives you the vertical reach you need for working at height, while also providing excellent horizontal reach. Telescopic boom lifts may require more operating space than articulated models, but they can often reach greater heights and allow you to work from a distance. Another huge benefit that comes with utilizing these highly adaptable aerial work platforms is the ability to maneuver around obstacles thanks to their unique ability to reach, over and around them.
