What Exactly Is a Boom Truck?

To recover heavy items or to move supplies to areas and places which are not normally accessible, boom trucks will utilize a winch. For example, 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 truck's bed. It is capable of moving construction things and other equipment from the side of the street to a certain place. There is another boom truck configuration which is outfitted with a cherry picker. This version enables arborists to access treetops easily.



The Vehicle

The Stinger BT 3063 model has a 113-foot reach and is equipped with stabilizers and outriggers. A boom truck could range from an aerial work platform which 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 modified boom lift manufactured for a specific buyer's needs.



Cherry Picker

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



Location

The platform on the boom is 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 require outriggers which horizontally extend from the truck in order to level out and stabilize the crane in its operation.



Controls

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