Introduction to Tracked Boom Lifts: Safe and Efficient Access.

• Compact and Agile:
  Tracked boom lifts are designed to effortlessly navigate tight spaces like doors, paths, and alleyways, ensuring smooth operation in confined areas.
• Impressive Reach:
  With maximum working heights of up to 52 metres, these lifts offer precision and stability for tasks requiring extensive reach.
• Versatile Use:
  Ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects, tracked boom lifts perform well in environments ranging from retail centres to rugged terrain.
• Eco-Friendly Power Options:
  Lithium battery options are available for an environmentally conscious, yet powerful performance.
• Low Floor Impact:
  Self-propelled boom lifts often struggle with delicate floors due to their weight. In contrast, tracked boom lifts distribute weight evenly across non-marking rubber tracks and stabilisers, protecting floors and adapting to uneven surfaces.
• Precise  Basket Positioning:
  Tracked boom lifts deliver exact basket positioning with smooth controls, allowing operators to reach difficult spots with ease.
• Tackling Slopes and Stairs:
  Capable of handling slopes up to a 30% incline and climbing stairs, tracked boom lifts are designed to perform in challenging terrain.

Safe Operation of Tracked Booms

Safety is essential when operating tracked booms.

JMS offers a comprehensive range of IPAF training courses, including the IPAF Static Boom (1b) course, so your team can operate these machines confidently and safely. 

Tracked boom lifts, known for their lightweight design and gentle footprint, are perfectly suited for indoor environments where delicate flooring must be protected. 

Their compact form enables quick setup and seamless operation in confined spaces, making them ideal for a wide range of installations, from electrical and air conditioning systems to carpentry, steelwork, and painting. When height access is needed in tight quarters, these lifts provide an efficient and safe solution, optimising productivity and reducing costs, particularly during the critical final stages of construction projects.

Whether in museums, shopping centres, or office buildings, the LEO lift offers unmatched efficiency for ongoing maintenance tasks. It’s the ideal solution for routine upkeep of lighting, smoke detectors, air conditioning systems, or any necessary repair work. Faster and more versatile than traditional scaffolding, the LEO lift ensures maintenance can be completed quickly and safely without disrupting the day-to-day operations of the building.

For high-traffic environments like hotels, stadiums, airports, and convention centres, the need for regular and efficient cleaning is paramount. In tasks such as interior glass cleaning, especially in areas with constant visitor flow, a solution like the LEO lift is preferred. It offers an efficient, non-intrusive approach to maintaining cleanliness without disrupting guests or visitors, ensuring operations continue smoothly while keeping spaces spotless.

Tracked or spider booms are commonly used in arboriculture work, their ability to work across rough terrain and uneven ground makes them particularly suited to managing trees and vegetation.

However, the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has noted that pruning or removing branches can be a hazardous task, particularly when near power or communications lines.

IPAF cite the three most common injury types in MEWP use in tree care as:

• Electrocution – risk when working near power lines;
• Falls from the platform – when occupants fail to use correct fall protection equipment
• Hit by falling objects – such as tree branches or trunk
