Running a farm effectively requires the right kind of equipment. While you might have tractors, ploughs, and harvesters, you could be lacking the critical access equipment needed to safely and efficiently carry out work at height.
Whether it’s a trailer-mounted boom or an electric articulating boom lift, here are a few key pieces of equipment you might want to add to your fleet to ensure a safer and more efficient agricultural operation.
Vertical Masts
Vertical masts are a great piece of equipment for accessing hard-to-reach vertical spaces in agriculture or similar settings. They can be particularly useful for tasks like fruit picking, pruning, or maintaining high structures, such as greenhouses and barns.
Push Arounds
Push arounds can be useful in agriculture for smaller tasks, like repairing equipment, installing or maintaining irrigation systems, or working on small structures. While they’re relatively easy to transport and set up, they’re not as convenient to move around as self-propelled equipment on wheels.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts offer a stable, vertically-raised platform that can be used for a variety of different purposes. They might be used to stack hay, access large storage areas at height, or carry out maintenance on buildings.
The large platform that scissor lifts offer makes them an efficient choice, as they can accommodate multiple workers and tools.
Articulating Booms
Articulating booms are highly versatile and ideal for farm work. They can be used for anything from tree trimming to accessing tall crops or conducting farm structure maintenance.
These booms are a valuable addition to any farm, especially where obstacles or uneven terrain are common.
Telescopic Booms
Telescopic booms offer the maximum vertical and horizontal reach and are great for accessing tall structures such as silos or areas that require a wide reach, like an orchard.
The long reach of the telescopic boom gives access to areas that can be impossible to reach with other equipment.
Trailer-Mounted Booms
Trailer-mounted booms are great for farms because they are portable and easy to transport anywhere. They are convenient for farmers who have multiple locations and widespread operations, as they can be quickly hitched to a vehicle and moved as required.
Whether you’re looking for an electric articulating boom lift, a telehandler, or something else to meet your agricultural access needs, then contact us at Sterling Access today. We have a range of equipment to suit any requirement, for hire or for sale.
