What Is an Articulating Man Lift?
An articulating man lift is a type of boom lift designed to lift workers and tools to high places. It has a jointed or “knuckle” arm that bends in several places. This design lets it move around obstacles like walls or beams.
Unlike a straight boom lift, an articulating lift can reach “up and over.” This makes it perfect for jobs in tight or hard-to-reach areas. Many people also call it an articulated cherry picker.

It’s a great choice for cleaning, repair, painting, warehouse work, and more.
Real-World Application of the Boom Lift
One customer in Germany uses our boom lift for factory maintenance. Their space has many machines and pipes, making it hard to reach overhead areas. Our 16m diesel articulating man lift solved their problem.
Another example is in a shopping mall in Italy. The client uses a knuckle boom lift to clean glass ceilings. The electric model works silently indoors without pollution.
Power Options: Electric vs. Diesel
We offer two power types for the articulating man lift, each suited for different environments.
Electric Articulating Man Lift:
- Quiet and zero emission
- Best for indoor use like warehouses or malls
- Lower maintenance cost
- Uses rechargeable batteries
- Smooth operation on flat ground
Diesel Articulating Man Lift:
- Stronger power for outdoor use
- Good on rough or sloped terrain
- Long working time without charging
- Higher climbing ability
- Ideal for construction or shipyards
Choosing the right model depends on your worksite and budget.
