Terex Straight Boom Lifts Salt Lake City

What Exactly Is a Boom Truck?

A boom truck uses a winch to recover heavy items or transport materials to places that are normally not accessible. Like for example, they are usually used to reach the top of a building, maneuvering materials over a ditch or to a hillside.



A huge truck is equipped with a boom winch. This is mounted in the bed of the truck and then it is capable of transporting construction items and other equipment from street-side to a particular location. There is another boom truck configuration that is equipped with a cherry picker. This version enables arborists to access treetops easily.



The Vehicle

Terex's Stinger BT 3063 model has a reach of 113-feet and is equipped with both outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck could range from an aerial work platform which is moved by a hydraulic lifting device which 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 to meet the specific requirements of the buyer.



Cherry Picker

Bucket trucks are cherry pickers which can lift workers to great heights. Normally, buckets or cherry pickers move employees from the ground up to high places like for instance 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 a separate trailer or on the bed of a large truck. Booms that are bigger need outriggers which extend horizontally from the truck in order to level out and stabilize the crane during its operation.



Controls

This model of boom truck has a cab-over-engine that has a control cluster that could move the boom from inside the cab. It is often a panel in the boom itself on the side of the bed.
