Choosing the correct aerial lift for your project can significantly boost efficiency and save time and money.
However, before you rent, it's crucial to measure your workspace’s height accurately.
What other options are available when a tape measure won't cut it?
At Skyworks, we offer a variety of scissor lifts and boom lifts to help you get the job done right.
To ensure you select the ideal lift for your needs, here are six tools, each known for its accuracy, that can assist you in measuring height with precision.
1. Clinometer
A clinometer, also known as an inclinometer, measures angles of slope or inclination. This tool is handy for determining height by calculating the angle between the clinometer and the ground. By applying basic trigonometry, you can easily derive the height of your workspace.
2. Laser Measure
Laser measures utilize advanced laser technology to provide highly accurate distance readings, including height. Simply point the laser measure at the top of your workspace, giving you an instant, precise measurement.
3. Rangefinder
A rangefinder operates on similar laser technology to measure distances. By aiming the device at the highest point of your target area, you can quickly obtain the height measurement displayed on the device.
4. Height Gauge
A height gauge transfers height measurements from a lower reference point to a higher one. It’s ideal for measuring the height of hard-to-reach places, such as rooftops or the sides of tall buildings.
5. Ladder and Spirit Level
A ladder and spirit level can provide precise height measurements for more traditional methods. Simply place the spirit level on the highest rung of the ladder, adjust until the bubble is centered, and then measure the distance from the ground to the base of the level.
6. Drone
A drone equipped with a camera and GPS can be invaluable if you're measuring an outdoor area that’s difficult to access. With aerial footage and precise positioning data, you can accurately determine the height of your target area from above.
