BOOM TRUCK

Depending on the size, boom trucks usually have a large flatbed with ample room to spare. Boom trucks are often used to transport goods to a site and then to lift them with the crane. This eliminates the need to hire both a crane and a hauler. This makes it ideal to transport and install exterior air conditioning units. Boom trucks can be useful for anything from moving sheds, shipping containers, installing light poles, installing roof trusses, hanging red iron, to installing an AC unit on top of a commercial building. These boom trucks are easy and fast to set up, making the cost of renting fall within budget. Usually these are used on fast jobs or even on one day long jobs. Some boom trucks will have a personnel boom attached basket, making it ideal for advertisement sign jobs where an articulating man lift can’t reach.

ALL TERRAIN CRANE

All-terrain cranes can travel at high speeds on roads, making them suitable for jobs in various locations. They can also navigate off-road terrains, including construction sites, thanks to their robust suspension and tire systems. These cranes boast impressive lifting capacities, with some models capable of hoisting loads more than 1,000 tons. This makes them suitable for a wide range of heavy lifting tasks. Like the rough-terrain crane, all-terrains are highly maneuverable over uneven ground, but they also provide the added benefit of being able to maintain higher speeds on public roads. In the crane industry, all-terrain cranes are often viewed as the ideal combination of a truck-mounted crane and a rough-terrain crane, as they offer mobility and transportability without sacrificing the ability to handle off-road conditions. With great reach, jib additions, and a high load capacity, these cranes are used all over the state for cell tower maintenance. These All-Terrain cranes will have more reach than a same tonnage Rough Terrain crane and a Hydraulic Truck crane. The reason is being able to add more counterweights so it can keep it from tipping, adding more stability and power. These counterweights on some occasions come separately in a freight truck so that the crane is road legal due to its heavy weight.

ROUGH TERRAIN CRANE

Rough-terrain cranes come with a telescoping boom and outriggers to stabilize and support during lifts. They are lighter than all-terrain cranes due to two factors: rough-terrain cranes are operated and driven from the same, small cab, and they only have one engine which powers both the boom and the undercarriage. Their four-wheel drive and power steering allow for easy maneuverability over the uneven ground of construction sites with unpacked soil, even within tighter spaces. However, rough-terrain cranes are unable to travel at speed on public roads, meaning they need to be transported to job sites. These cranes are best suited for long term projects that need the ease of moving a crane multiple times without having to worry about transporting the counterweights on a trailer. Rough-terrain cranes come in multiple sizes from 15 ton to 165 ton making it the ideal mid-size crane for a project like oil field work or new construction sites and tight areas where an All-terrain crane won’t fit.

CARRY DECK CRANE

A carry deck crane is a small 4-wheel crane with a 360 degree rotating boom housed in the center of the machine. In addition to the rotating boom, the carry deck crane also houses an operator cab at one end underneath the boom. The rear section of the carry deck crane contains the engine. The area above the wheels is a flat deck, ideal for loading and moving materials around a job site. Carry deck cranes offer high power for their smaller size – however the main things these cranes offer are versatility and maneuverability. Primarily, these machines are used to transport materials around job sites. Due to the smaller stature of the carry deck crane, they can easily hoist large amounts of materials in confined spaces. Such materials can be loaded directly onto the crane deck and moved to another location on the job site. Due to their ability to transport and hoist materials, combined with super-efficient navigation, carry crane decks are a welcome addition to most job sites.
