Hi guys,
where i work we have 2 boom lifts, a diesel 400s, and an electric jlg 45. the 45 has the hand pump to release the hydraulic pressure in the boom arms as an emergency lowering measure, and the 400s has the electric backup.
My questions is this:
If the batteries/electrical system in the 400s were to fail, would that leave me with no emergency lowering potential at all?
i see many models that have relief valves that will bring down the upper and lower boom arms independently, but both in the manual, and on the unit itself, i can find no other means of lowering the basket.
ive been tasked with writing the basis for a facility safety guideline on these machines, and im trying to be thorough.
thanks so much for your help!
