Oshawa Aerial Lift Ticket - Boom vehicle are often used by phone, cable and utilities companies as they have long folded arms which are typically folded over the roofs of company vehicles. On the end of the extension of extendable arms usually sits a bucket-like apparatus. When a container vehicle has an extendable boom mounted the roof this is often called an "aerial boom truck" or a "cherry picker". It is able to transport staff to the peak of a telephone or utility pole. Bucket boom vehicles have a lifting capacity of approximately 350 lbs to 1500 lbs or 158 kg to 680 kg and are capable of extending the bucket up to 34 feet or to around 10 meters into the air.
Heavy equipment boom trucks or construction boom trucks might have a hoist attached to the rear. These cranes known as knuckle booms may be undersized and compact or be of the trolley boom variety, where the hoist is capable of extending the length of the truck bed. Crane boom trucks include a hauling capacity between 10 to 50 tons or roughly 9 to 45 metric tons.
Another modification of boom truck is the concrete boom, which have a pipe with a nozzle at the end of the truck to pump concrete and other materials. The areas where these resources have to be deposited is usually inaccessible to the truck or is located at a great height, for that reason, the boom of a larger concrete boom truck may well be extended 230 feet or roughly 71 meters. The truck then pumps the concrete through the boom precisely depositing it into the space where it is needed.
Fire departments are equipped with a lengthy container boom used to raise firefighters to the high floors of a building. Once in place, this boom enables them to direct water onto flames or to rescue trapped victims. A lot of of the older hook and ladder trucks have been displaced with current boom trucks.
Self propelled booms are very similar to lift trucks. These little boom vehicles may hoist staff to elevated storage space or to the ceiling of large warehouses and stockroom facilities. They are more secure and as a result far safer than using extension ladders for the similar application.
