Boom Truck Rental

Boom Truck Rental Guide

Know your boom trucks to determine which type is right for your project.

Truck Cranes / Boom Trucks

Truck cranes are cranes with a vehicle-sized base that can traverse highways safely. Boom trucks range from truck cranes to smaller trucks designed specifically to transport and stabilize small to medium-height cranes. Truck cranes can be somewhat larger.

Crane Boom vs Bucket Boom

There are two types of boom trucks on the market. We specialize in crane booms equipped with hydraulic cranes on the back with booms that can lift several tons, depending on the size. However, there are also bucket trucks, which include buckets for human workers at the end of a boom. These are for elevated labor like tree trimming or exterior building repairs and are not for heavy lifting.

Boom Extension, Angle, and Lift Weight

Each boom truck can be evaluated by the height, maneuverable angle, and lift capacity of the boom. Knowing the requirements of your project can help you select a boom truck that provides the right extension, angle, and lifting weight capabilities.

When Do I Need A Boom Truck Rental

A project requires boom truck rental when lifting one or more heavy components. The lift can be five feet or fifty. Some boom trucks can reach up to 200 feet in lift. Boom trucks provide a safe and stable way to lift materials, building components, furniture, and other heavy loads without putting your crew at risk.

• Construction: Lifting construction materials and framing structures into place, countering gravity, and safely bringing materials to higher locations.
• Utilities: Installing heavy components in municipal utility structures
• HVAC: Installing or removing AC units from rooftops and upper floors
• Event Planning: Lifting heavy decorations or structural pieces into place
• Moving: Hoisting a grand piano into an upper-story apartment

A boom truck may be called upon for construction, utility service, HVAC installations, and safe removal of heavy components from high places. Consider a boom truck any time lifting or removing a heavy object might otherwise be dangerous or impossible.
