Most drivers have seen boom trucks parked here or there. Nevertheless, the trucks remain a mystery to the majority of motorists. What are these mighty vehicles really all about?
In simplest terms, a boom truck is a heavy-duty vehicle equipped with a winch for lifting major loads. This makes it similar to a crane. Where the similarity ends, however, is in the area of maneuverability. A boom truck can weave through job sits with startling smoothness. An ordinary crane is nowhere near this nimble.
Crane Renal Service Applications
While boom trucks provide major lift muscle for a variety of situations, two of the most common industries serviced are telecom and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning).
The versatility of The Crane Guys’ boom truck fleet is particularly advantageous for HVAC customers, industrial or residential. No matter how massive the HVAC unit, The Crane Guys has a boom for the job. Their fleet covers load capacities ranging from 3 to 40 tons, with a 100′ – 150′ tip height.
For the telecom industry, The Crane Guys’ boom trucks provide quick, responsive service suited to a variety of tasks. Cell tower repairs, for example, require the maneuverability of boom trucks to lift service personnel to precise locations.
Of course, telecom and HVAC companies are only two of many industries capably serviced by boom trucks. As many of our clients soon discover, these nimble vehicles are enormously helpful to a wide range of enterprises. Quite possibly your own project could benefit by utilizing a boom truck for specialized service. No need to be left wondering. The Crane Guys can help you explore your needs with customary efficiency and friendliness. So, reach out to us whenever convenient, and together we’ll come up with the ideal solutions.
How a Boom Truck Works
The typical boom truck is equipped with a winch mounted on the vehicle bed. If a crew lift is required, a personnel platform (aka ‘man basket’) is attached to the boom tip.
The four basic parts of a boom truck are:
Cab – Houses the operator, who works a control console to move the vehicle and boom into desired positions.
Elevating Cylinder – Hydraulic arm that lifts and lowers the boom.
Outrigger – Retractable component that supports the vehicle against the weight of the load while stopped.
Boom – The actual lifting arm. Parts slide inside the other to allow for height adjustments and storage.
As you might have guessed, all these moving parts require constant servicing. And at The Crane Guys, servicing equipment and machinery is a major priority. You see, when we arrive at a job, perfection is mandatory. We want everything to run smoothly, ensuring projects are completed safely and on time. To make this happen, we’ve staffed our company with top-flight mechanics and other specialists. Incomparably meticulous, this team of experts keep a close watch on every one of our boom trucks and all other equipment. When something needs servicing, they’re on it in a second.
