Height
Knuckle boom lifts are a different term used for articulating boom lifts. These equipment could reach heights from 36 feet to 131 feet, depending on the model of the particular lift.
Design
Articulating boom lifts are designed with multiple bending elbows. These are in conjunction with extendable arms which allow the articulating lifts to reach outwards and over things and also upwards.
Articulating vs. Telescoping
Both telescoping or straight boom lifts could work at heights from 46 to 86 feet. Not like articulating lifts, these ones do not contain elbows and extend in a straight line. This simplifies some of the lift training but also restricts the areas which could be reached with it.
