In narrow spaces, indoor maintenance, or complex terrain high-altitude work scenarios, traditional boom lifts often face limitations due to their large size and mobility challenges. These platforms cater to diverse applications, including indoor renovations, commercial maintenance, and municipal facility inspections, offering high cost-effectiveness, strong adaptability, and customized services to global clients.
What is a Compact Crawler Boom Lift? Core Features & Applications
A compact crawler boom lift is a small-scale aerial work platform engineered for confined spaces. Its defining features include:
"Compact": Machine width ≤1.2m; folded transport dimensions (L×W×H) ≤6×2×3m, enabling passage through standard freight elevators or narrow corridors.
"Crawler": Equipped with rubber tracks, it features low ground pressure (≤35kPa), suitable for soft or uneven terrains like mud, grass, or gravel.
"Boom": Multi-stage telescopic arms (typically 2-3 sections) with a folding design, achieving a maximum working height of 10-16m. The platform rotates 360° (some models with limited swing) for flexible coverage of high targets.
"Efficient": Available in electric (48V) or diesel dual-power configurations, with a climbing ability of 15°-30°, and a payload capacity of 200-300kg (accommodating 1-2 workers + tools).
Typical Applications:
Commercial spaces: Mall ceiling repairs, hotel pipe maintenance, exhibition hall lighting installation.
Municipal maintenance: Streetlight replacement, billboard cleaning, bus shelter roof upkeep.
Industrial settings: Factory equipment servicing, warehouse shelf top operations.
Special environments: Museum artifact restoration (low vibration), hospital cleanroom maintenance (anti-contamination).

How to Operate a Compact Crawler Boom Lift: Steps & Precautions
1. Pre-Operation Checks (Critical Steps)
Environmental Inspection: Ensure the work surface is level (soft ground requires steel plates). Remove obstacles with height < platform height. Wind speed ≤6m/s (diesel models ≤5m/s).
Equipment Inspection:
Check hydraulic oil level (electric) or fuel level (diesel).
Inspect tire/tracks for wear (track tension: 20-30mm).
Verify safety locks, emergency stops, and limit switches.
Personnel Readiness: Operators must be certified (or trained by Huichuang) and wear reflective vests and slip-resistant shoes.
2. Operation Procedure
Start the Equipment:
Electric: Power on → self-check (display "READY") → unlock controls.
Diesel: Start engine (preheat 30s) → check gauges (oil/water temp normal) → unlock controls.
Extend the Boom:
Slowly operate the "boom extension" handle → monitor the angle sensor (avoid overload alarms) → lock the boom at full extension.
Adjust platform height using the "platform lift/lower" handle (speed adjustable).
Move the Machine:
Lower the platform to its initial position → unlock the chassis travel system → move slowly (speed ≤3km/h).
Turn with caution (speed ≤1km/h) to avoid track slippage.
Retract the Equipment:
Lower the platform to its stowed position → fold the boom (reverse extension order) → power off → lock controls.
3. Key Precautions
Load Limits: Never exceed payload (≤300kg). Do not carry personnel beyond the platform.
Terrain Adaptation: Crawler tracks handle slopes ≤25°, but move along the slope’s contour (avoid lateral climbing).
Weather Restrictions: Reduce height by 20% in rain/snow; use anti-slip mats on icy surfaces.
Maintenance: Replace hydraulic oil every 50 hours (electric) or diesel filters every 50 hours (diesel). Check track tension every 100 hours.
