FAQs About Atrium Lifts
Atrium lifts, also known as spider lifts, compact crawler boom lifts, tracked boom lifts and arborist lifts, are a great choice for tree care and maintenance applications at extreme heights. These compact aerial lifts are narrow enough to fit through standard commercial doorways, making them perfect for tight spaces or hard-to-reach areas. They come in various sizes with platform heights between 35 feet and 42 feet in smaller models up to 72 feet in larger models. Learn more about atrium lifts in the FAQ section below.
Maximum working height and reach can vary depending on the model available. Each lift has a maximum reach depending on model specs, and working height is calculated by adding 6 feet — the assumed height of an operator — to the maximum platform height. Some of our medium-duty atrium lift rentals have a maximum platform height up to 42 feet, with working height of up to 48 feet, while our largest model of atrium lifts can reach almost 72 feet, with a working height of up to 78 feet.
Like other aerial work platforms, atrium boom lifts can carry up to 500 pounds depending on the model. Carrying capacity can vary depending on if the atrium lift is articulating or telescopic.

Atrium lifts are great for indoor and outdoor use. They have soft rubber tracks, which is why they’re also known as track boom lifts or spider lifts, designed to roll through standard commercial doorways. But their outriggers make them ideal for outdoor work like tree care and outdoor maintenance; the outriggers help keep them balanced on outdoor terrain.
