Is an operation certificate required for operating an articulated boom lift?

[MaximusFitz]

Articulated boom lifts are categorized into two types based on their design: vehicle-mounted articulated boom lifts and self-propelled articulated boom lifts. Therefore, the answer to whether an operation certificate is required is divided into two aspects. 1. Self-propelled articulated boom lifts: These are vehicles that can move automatically via handles or other control buttons. This type of articulated boom lift is classified as construction machinery and equipment and does not fall under the category of special equipment, so no certification is required for operation. 2. Vehicle-mounted articulated boom lifts: These are vehicles equipped with lifting devices and are classified as special equipment. Therefore, a special operation certificate is mandatory for operating or using them; otherwise, operation is not permitted.
