Diverse Boom Truck Types We Ship
Boom trucks come in many configurations, each designed for specific tasks. Our experience covers a wide array of types, ensuring we can transport your particular model safely. We handle everything from smaller utility boom trucks to large, specialized units.
- Telescopic Boom Trucks: These common units feature an extendable boom, used extensively in construction and utility work.
- Articulating Boom Trucks: With multiple hinged sections, these offer greater reach and maneuverability around obstacles, often seen in tree care or complex industrial settings.
- Digger Derricks: Combining a boom, auger, and winch, these are vital for drilling holes and setting poles in the utility and energy sectors.
- Knuckle Boom Cranes: Mounted on trucks, these articulated cranes provide flexibility and precision for loading and unloading materials.
- Bucket Trucks (Aerial Work Platforms): Essential for electrical work, telecommunications, and maintenance, these lift personnel to improved positions.
You can rely on our expertise to select the correct transport method for your specific boom truck, regardless of its size or function. We treat each piece of equipment with the care and attention it deserves.
Improved Transport Methods for Your Boom Truck
Selecting the appropriate trailer is crucial for safe and compliant boom truck shipping. We use a diverse fleet of specialized trailers, matching the right equipment to your boom truck’s dimensions and weight. Our goal is to provide secure and efficient transport every time.
- Flatbed Trailers: Ideal for smaller boom trucks or those with less height, offering straightforward loading and unloading.
- Step-Deck Trailers: These trailers feature a lower deck height, making them suitable for boom trucks that exceed standard height limits on a flatbed. They provide additional vertical clearance.
- Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailers: For your heaviest and tallest boom trucks, RGNs offer the lowest deck height. The front of the trailer detaches, allowing drive-on/drive-off loading, which is ideal for self-propelled machinery.
- Specialized Multi-Axle Trailers: When your boom truck represents an extreme heavy haul, we deploy multi-axle configurations to distribute weight appropriately and meet road regulations.
We manage all aspects of the haul, including obtaining necessary permits for oversized loads and coordinating escort vehicles when required. You receive a complete solution for your boom truck transport needs.
