Terex Straight Boom Lifts San Diego

What Exactly Is a Boom Truck?

A boom truck utilizes a winch to recover heavy items or move materials to places which are normally not accessible. Like for instance, they are commonly utilized maneuvering supplies to a hillside or over a ditch 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 transporting construction things and other equipment from the side of the street to a certain location. There is one more boom truck configuration which is equipped with a cherry picker. This version enables arborists to easily access treetops.



The Vehicle

Terex's Stinger BT 3063 model has a reach of 113-feet and is outfitted with both outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck can range from an aerial work platform that is moved by a hydraulic lifting mechanism 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 manufactured for a specific buyer's needs.



Cherry Picker

Bucket trucks are cherry pickers that could lift employees to great heights. Typically, buckets or cherry pickers transport employees from the ground up to high areas like the sides of buildings, treetops, for fire department and firefighting or up utility poles.



Location

The boom platform is able to be operated from the truck's cab by remote. Either the boom is mounted on the bed of a big truck or on a separate trailer. Bigger booms require outriggers that horizontally extend from the truck in order to stabilize and level out the crane in its operation.



Controls

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