Terex Straight Boom Lifts Salem

What Is a Boom Truck?

A boom truck uses a winch to recover heavy items or move supplies to places that are normally not accessible. For example, they are usually used maneuvering materials to a hillside or over a ditch or to reach the top of a building.



A big truck is equipped with a boom winch. This is mounted in the truck's bed and then it is capable of moving construction items and other equipment from street-side to a certain place. There is a different 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 equipped with both outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck could range from an aerial work platform which is moved by a hydraulic lifting device 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 made to suit the particular needs of the buyer.



Cherry Picker

Cherry pickers are bucket trucks that could lift employees to great heights. Typically, buckets or cherry pickers move employees from the ground up to high areas such as treetops, the sides of a building, up utility poles or for firefighting and fire department rescue.



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. Larger booms require outriggers that horizontally extend from the truck in order to level out and stabilize the crane during its use.



Controls

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