The Telescopic Boom Lift, also known as a Straight Boom Lift, is designed for jobs that require extended horizontal reach and vertical height. It features a straight arm structure that can extend directly outward and upward, allowing it to reach places that traditional lifts cannot. This type of boom lift is often used in large construction sites, warehouses, stadium maintenance, and industrial work zones.
Unlike articulating lifts, the telescopic design provides greater outreach and stability, making it the preferred solution for outdoor high-reach operations where obstacles are not in the way.

Main Features of Telescopic Boom Lift
The Telescopic Boom Lift from YG Machinery comes with robust construction and advanced lifting capabilities. Key features include:
- Straight boom design for extended reach
- Hydraulic lifting system for smooth vertical motion
- High platform height, often up to 30 meters or more
- All-terrain wheels or tracks for outdoor use
- Engine-driven or electric-powered models
- Safety rails and emergency stop systems
This equipment is built for performance in demanding environments. The stable base and extended boom length make it ideal for tasks where long outreach is needed without moving the base frequently.
Key Advantages of Straight Boom Lift
The Straight Boom Lift offers many practical benefits:
- Wider Work Range: Reaches farther both horizontally and vertically than other lifts.
- Fast Elevation: Quickly raises to full height, saving time on big jobs.
- Enhanced Safety: Equipped with tilt sensors, emergency stops, and non-slip platforms.
- Durability: Heavy-duty steel and powder-coated finish resist wear and weather.
These advantages make it perfect for operations that require precision and speed at higher elevations.


Telescopic Boom Lift Application
A Telescopic Boom Lift is suitable for many industries. Common use cases include:
- Building Construction: For exterior walls, roof structure, and steel framework.
- Power Line Maintenance: To access high poles and electric infrastructure.
- Window Installation: Especially on tall commercial buildings.
- Shipyard Work: Access to high ship hulls and containers.
- Bridge Repairs: Ideal for overhead structures and highway maintenance.
This machine can handle heavy loads and provide access to areas that are otherwise hard to reach.
Working Principle of Telescopic Lift
The telescopic lift uses a hydraulic extension system that pushes out the boom in a straight line. Unlike articulated arms that bend at joints, the telescopic boom extends one section after another, much like a telescope.
Each boom section is locked in place by hydraulic cylinders, providing rigid support even when fully extended. The lift’s base rotates, allowing horizontal movement without repositioning the entire machine.
The operator controls all movements via a user-friendly panel on the platform or ground console.


Usage Tips and Safety Precautions
Operating a Telescopic Boom Lift safely requires attention to terrain and weather:
- Always park on flat, stable ground before elevation.
- Check the hydraulic fluid and engine status daily.
- Avoid use during high winds above 12.5 m/s.
- Do not overload the platform beyond the specified capacity.
- Wear a safety harness while on the platform.
- Inspect the boom locks and tire pressure before each shift.
Proper training is essential to prevent accidents and ensure efficiency.
