What Precisely Is a Boom Truck?

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



Bigger trucks are outfitted with a boom winch that is mounted in the bed of a truck. It is capable of transporting construction items and other equipment from the side of the street to a specific place. There is a different boom truck design 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 equipped with both stabilizers and outriggers. A boom truck could vary from an aerial work platform that 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 modified boom lift manufactured to meet the specific requirements of the buyer.



Cherry Picker

Cherry pickers are bucket trucks that could raise employees to great heights. Usually, cherry pickers or buckets move workers from the ground up to high areas like for example the sides of buildings, treetops, for firefighting and fire department rescue or up utility poles.



Location

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



Controls

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