Aerial Lift Ticket Prince Albert - Boom truck are often used by phone, cable television and utilities organizations as they have extended folded arms which are commonly folded over the roofs of company vans. On the end of the extension of extendable arms usually sits a bucket-like apparatus. When a container vehicle has an extendable boom installed on the roof this is sometimes called an "aerial boom truck" or a "cherry picker". It can transport employees to the peak of a phone or utility pole. Bucket boom vehicles have a hauling capacity of around 350 lbs to 1500 lbs or 158 kg to 680 kg and are capable of extending the bucket up to 34 feet or just over 10 meters into the air.
Heavy equipment boom vehicles or construction boom vehicles may have a hoist attached to the rear. These cranes often called knuckle booms might be undersized and compact or be of the trolley boom kind, where the hoist is capable of extending the length of the truck bed. Crane boom vehicles include a raising capability between 10 to 50 tons or around 9 to 45 metric tons.
An added variation of boom truck is the concrete boom, which have a pipeline with a nozzle at the end of the vehicle to pump concrete and other materials. The locations where these materials have to be deposited is commonly inaccessible to the truck or is stationed at a considerable height, consequently, the boom of a bigger concrete boom vehicle may be extended 230 feet or just about 71 meters. The truck then pumps the material through the boom directly depositing it into the space where it is required.
Fire departments are outfitted with a lengthy container boom employed to raise firefighters to the high floors of a structure. Once in place, this boom enables them to direct water onto a fire or to rescue trapped victims. Some of the older hook and ladder lift trucks have been replaced with up to date boom vehicles.
Self propelled booms are relatively similar to lift trucks. These little boom vehicles may hoist employees to elevated cargo space or to the ceiling of large warehouses and stockroom offices. They are more stable and as a result much safer than using extension ladders for the similar application.
