Selecting the proper access platform for indoor tasks can feel challenging. The Star 10 lift and traditional boom lifts offer benefits but suit different types of jobs. Understanding their performance can help you decide which is better for your needs.
This guide compares the Haulotte Star 10 vertical mast boom lift and traditional boom lifts based on key features, helping you choose the best option for indoor use.
The Haulotte Star 10 is a vertical mast boom lift designed for compact spaces. It has:
This lift is ideal for indoor environments like warehouses and retail spaces.
Traditional boom lifts come in two types: telescopic and articulating. They are built for tasks requiring high reach and horizontal outreach. Key features include:
These lifts excel in heavy-duty and outdoor tasks and work in large indoor areas with adequate space.
The Star 10 lift offers a working height of 10 metres and a 3-metre outreach, making it suitable for most indoor tasks. Traditional boom lifts, however, provide greater reach, with heights up to 56 metres and extended horizontal outreach. Traditional boom lifts may be better if you need access to high ceilings or distant spaces.
The Star 10 lift supports 200 kg, which works well for one operator and tools. Traditional boom lifts have higher weight capacities, handling up to 227 kilograms. Traditional lifts might be more practical if your task requires heavy equipment or multiple operators.
The Star 10 lift has a compact design, just 1 metre wide, allowing it to navigate tight spaces like aisles or small storage areas. Traditional boom lifts are bulkier and need more room to operate. For confined indoor spaces, the Star 10 is the better choice.
The Star 10 lift includes advanced safety features like motion alarms and an anti-entrapment system. Traditional boom lifts often have stabilisers for outdoor tasks but may not offer the same indoor-specific safety features. If safety in enclosed spaces is a priority, the Star 10 stands out.
The Star 10 lift runs on electric power, making it ideal for indoor use with limited ventilation. It also features non-marking tyres to protect floors. Traditional boom lifts, often powered by gas or diesel, are better suited for outdoor environments but can be used indoors with electric models.
When choosing between the Star 10 lift and traditional boom lifts, consider the following:
The Star 10 lift is purpose-built for indoor projects. Its compact size, electric power, and safety features make it perfect for environments like warehouses and retail stores. While traditional boom lifts offer greater reach, their size and power source limit their suitability for confined indoor tasks.
