What Precisely Is a Boom Truck?

To recover heavy items or to transport materials to areas and places that are not usually accessible, boom trucks will utilize a winch. Like for instance, they are commonly used maneuvering supplies over a ditch or to a hillside or to reach the top of a building.



Larger trucks are equipped with a boom winch which is mounted in the bed of a truck. It is capable of moving construction items and other equipment from the side of the street to a specific place. There is another boom truck configuration which is equipped with a cherry picker. This model enables arborists to access treetops easily.



The Vehicle

The Stinger BT 3063 model has a 113-foot reach and is outfitted with outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck can range 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 manufactured for a specific buyer's requirements.



Cherry Picker

Cherry pickers or bucket booms allow workers to reach excellent heights. Typically, buckets or cherry pickers transport workers from the ground up to high places like treetops, the sides of a building, for firefighting and fire department rescue or up utility poles.



Location

The boom platform can be operated by remote from the truck's cab. Either the boom is mounted on a separate trailer or on the bed of a large truck. Bigger booms need outriggers which extend horizontally from the truck in order to stabilize and level out the crane during its use.



Controls

A cab-over-engine model boom truck has a control cluster capable of moving the boom situated inside of the cab. It is usually a panel in the boom itself on the side of the bed.
