Property Maintenance & Facility Management

#01

These units can be quickly hitched to standard pickup trucks and transported between distributed commercial parks, multi-family housing, and hospital campuses—eliminating the costly freight logistics required for self-propelled machinery. For localized facility upkeep, investing in or renting a portable towable cherry picker provides immediate access without damaging asphalt or curbs.


Routine Facility Upkeep: Gutter cleaning, window washing, street lamp bulb replacement, and exterior security camera maintenance.

Overcoming Ground Obstacles: The articulated knuckle boom provides exceptional 'up-and-over' clearance, easily reaching over decorative landscaping, perimeter fences, parked vehicles, and low rooflines.

Construction & Exterior Trades

#02

With a lower gross weight, our trailer-mounted platforms distribute weight through wide-stance outriggers, exerting minimal ground bearing pressure on fragile pavers and stamped concrete. For residential painting, siding, and sign installation, a towable boom lift for exterior trades delivers superior cost efficiency.

(Pro Tip: If your job site features extreme mud or slopes beyond 20° where towing vehicles cannot enter,  explore our rough-terrain crawler boom lift applications for specialized tracked access.)


1/ Trade Applications: Exterior painting, architectural signage installation, roof inspections/repairs, chimney inspection, and light structural framing.

2/ Sensitive Surfaces: Integrated rubber outrigger pads protect landscaped garden pathways and brick driveways from cracking.
