What Precisely Is a Boom Truck?

To recover heavy items or to move materials to places and areas that are not normally accessible, boom trucks would use a winch. For instance, they are normally utilized to reach the top of a building, maneuvering materials over a ditch or to a hillside.



A big truck is outfitted with a boom winch. This is mounted in the bed of the truck and then it is capable of transporting construction things and other equipment from street-side to a particular place. There is another boom truck configuration that is outfitted 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 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 to meet the specific needs of the buyer.



Cherry Picker

Bucket booms or cherry pickers allow workers to reach excellent heights. Typically, cherry pickers or buckets transport workers from the ground up to high areas such as the sides of buildings, treetops, for fire department and firefighting 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 larger need outriggers which extend horizontally from the truck in order to stabilize and level out the crane throughout 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.
