Key Considerations

When purchasing a Tracked Lift, there are several key considerations to keep in mind to ensure you’re getting the right machine for your needs.

Working Height & Reach

Different tree care jobs require varying heights and reach capabilities. You’ll want a Tracked Lift that can handle both vertical height (working canopy level) and horizontal outreach (over obstacles like fences or buildings).

Be sure to identify the lift that balances working height with a strong outreach radius.

Naturally, we strongly recommend trialing any lift to experience their stability and smooth articulation.

Terrain Adaptability and Maneuverability

Many jobs involve rough, uneven, or delicate terrain. Tracked spider lifts are designed for these conditions, but some handle it better than others.

Track Design: Adjustable or variable-width tracks for added stability.
Weight Distribution: Minimizing ground pressure to protect sensitive surfaces like lawns.
Incline Capabilities: Can the lift handle slopes like the 18.95 which offers an excellent balance of compact size and incline capability with adjustable tracks.

Safety Features

Your team’s safety is paramount. Advanced safety systems ensure fewer accidents and more confidence when working at height.

Load Monitoring: Prevents overload by alerting the operator.
Outreach Monitoring: Prevents over extending the boom in any direction by alerting the operator.
Outriggers and stabilization systems: Providing a solid foundation and footing in a variety of terrains to reduce the risk of tip-overs.
Armored Protection of Key Components: Accidents happen and branches do fall. Having metal armored protection on the vital parts of the lift are essential to your safety. Make certain the gas tank and outrigger cylinders are properly protected as well as the hydraulic lines and electrical components.
Control Redundancy: Make certain your lift has multiple controls to operate the lift so there is redundancy in operation.

Ease of Transportation and Setup

Arborists work on dynamic jobsites, so having a machine that’s easy to transport and quick to set up is a big win.

Features to consider:

Compact Dimensions: Ensures the lift can pass through narrow gates and access tight spaces.
Quick Setup Time: Look for lifts with automated or semi-automated stabilization.
Lightweight Design: Easier towing with smaller vehicles.

Durability and Maintenance

Tree care work is tough on equipment, so your spider lift needs to handle rugged conditions while minimizing downtime.

Build Quality: Robust construction for long-term durability.
Component Access: Easy-to-service components for reduced maintenance costs.
Warranty and Support: Comprehensive support and parts availability.

Power Source

Gas or Diesel-powered: Ideal for outdoor use with no electrical access.
Electric-powered: Suitable for indoor use or locations requiring minimal noise and emissions.
Hybrid models: Offer flexibility for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Spider Tracked Lifts Suitable for a Wide Range of Industries

Regardless of your specific needs, Tracked Lifts has an aerial lift with specialized features to accommodate your industry:

Tree Care

Our aerial work platforms for tree care help arborists and tree professionals work safely and efficiently. By ascending trees in a secure basket, the worker avoids the risk of climbing equipment failure or insecure branches. The lift's tracks and outriggers will establish a stable base on slopes or rugged terrain. The tracks distribute the machine's weight across a wider area, minimizing environmental disruption while driving. Narrow designs improve mobility in dense woodlands.

Facility Maintenance

Aerial equipment allows facility maintenance staff to reach high interior and exterior features. Use facility maintenance machinery to repair HVAC components, clean windows, powerwash exterior walls, mount camera systems, post signage, and more. The tracks move seamlessly across slick or delicate surfaces while offering the dexterity to navigate between tight interior spaces.

Equipment Rental Companies

You can bolster your rental inventory with aerial equipment from Tracked Lifts. Our equipment comes from leading manufacturers that develop some of the industry's most durable and versatile machinery. Drive revenue by accommodating high demand and strengthening clients' trust in your aerial equipment.

Power Line Contractors

Our aerial lifts for linemen can reach high power lines safely and provide a stable working platform. Insulated models protect workers from electrocution.

Industrial Painters

Our machines allow painters to reach elevated signs and billboards, tall industrial tanks, high ceilings and other out-of-reach surfaces. Models with articulated boom arms can extend far outward at various angles when painting over roadways or bodies of water.
