Terex Straight Boom Lifts Portland

What Is a Boom Truck?

A boom truck utilizes a winch to recover heavy items or transport materials to areas that are typically inaccessible. For example, they are usually utilized to reach the top of a building, maneuvering materials to a hillside or over a ditch.



Bigger trucks are outfitted with a boom winch which is mounted in the bed of a truck. It is capable of moving construction items and other equipment from the side of the street to a certain place. There is a different boom truck design that is outfitted with a cherry picker. This model 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 outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck could 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 made to suit the specific needs of the buyer.



Cherry Picker

Bucket trucks are cherry pickers which can raise workers to great heights. Typically, cherry pickers or buckets transport workers from the ground up to high areas like for instance the sides of buildings, treetops, for firefighting and fire department rescue 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 need outriggers which extend horizontally from the truck so as to stabilize and level out the crane during its operation.



Controls

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