Like most heavy-duty machinery, aerial lifts have electrical components. That means you need high-quality parts and regular servicing to ensure these vehicles run smoothly. Below, we discuss the importance of quality aerial lift alternators and where you can find them.
Where are Aerial lifts used?
Aerial lifts are used in all kinds of different industries for varying purposes.
Some of the most common include:
- Construction
- Film
- Oilfields
- Shipyards
Your aerial lifts represent an investment in the safety of your workers and the efficiency of their work.
When one or more break down because of an old alternator, your work takes an immediate hit to:
- Efficiency
- Safety
- Capacity
That all translates to money out of pocket.
Alternators for aerial lifts in construction
You never want your essential equipment out of commission without planning for it.
Dependable OE components and regular maintenance are the best ways to keep your aerial lifts on a predictable schedule of downtime, so they always work when you need them.
Aerial lift alternators for film productions
Making a film is expensive.
Even “small,” independent films can cost thousands of dollars every day on special equipment and talent.
Your production can’t come to a halt when the aerial lifts you need for an important sequence suddenly quit.
An OE alternator in the aerial lifts for your film production can save thousands of dollars just by keeping your equipment moving.
Oilfield aerial lifts
- Drilling sites
- Pipelines
- Battery locations
- Compression stations
- Steam assisted gravity drainage facilities
- Oil sands extraction and processing facilities
- Refineries
They’re as common as any piece of heavy equipment, and keep your workers safe and efficient when any job requires lift.
Don’t treat your lifts as lower tier equipment. When your oil and gas industry aerial lifts don’t have a good quality OE alternator, your productivity is at risk.
Aerial lift alternators for use in shipyards
Cruise ships and transport ships require efficiency. When the lifts in your shipyard slow down your operation, your customers will let you know about their dissatisfaction. The fast pace of shipyard operations means your lifts get brief windows for maintenance.
Make the most of your maintenance time by installing dependable OE alternators that are easy for your mechanic to assess and replace during routine maintenance. Don’t wait for your customers to tell you the turnaround time in your shipyard is too long. Stay ahead of the game with the right alternator for your aerial lift.
How often should I replace an aerial lift alternator?
There is no standard for the lifespan of an alternator. But if you perform maintenance at regular intervals, you can check the condition of the alternator in your aerial lift and make a preemptive decision to replace it if wear signals an impending failure.
The productivity you save by preempting a failure more than makes up for the cost of replacing an alternator a few months before it actually goes kaput.
So keep a handful of new alternators for your aerial lifts handy and stay ahead of equipment breakdowns. You never notice when your equipment doesn’t break down, but you certainly do when it does.
