What Is a Boom Truck?

A boom truck uses a winch to recover heavy items or move materials to areas which are typically inaccessible. Like for instance, they are usually utilized to reach the top of a building, maneuvering supplies over a ditch or to a hillside.



A big truck is equipped with a boom winch. This is mounted in the truck's bed and then it is capable of moving construction things and other equipment from street-side to a certain area. There is another boom truck design which is outfitted with a cherry picker. This version enables arborists to easily access treetops.



The Vehicle

The Stinger BT 3063 model has a 113-foot reach and is equipped with stabilizers and outriggers. A boom truck can vary from an aerial work platform which is moved by a hydraulic lifting mechanism that is mounted on the bed, up to a Class 8 tractor-trailer rig with a bucket. It is also possible to have a customized boom lift made for a specific buyer's requirements.



Cherry Picker

Cherry pickers are bucket trucks which could lift employees to great heights. Typically, cherry pickers or buckets move workers from the ground up to high places such as the sides of buildings, treetops, up utility poles or for firefighting and fire department rescue.



Location

The boom platform can be operated by remote from the truck's cab. Either the boom is mounted on the bed of a large truck or on a separate trailer. Booms which are larger require outriggers that extend horizontally from the truck so as to level out and stabilize the crane in its operation.



Controls

This kind of boom truck has a cab-over-engine which has a control cluster which can move the boom from inside the cab. It is normally a panel in the boom itself on the side of the bed.
