Versatile, affordable, and easy to use, Telescopic Boom Trucks combine the benefits of a crane and cherry picker with the capacity and maneuverability of a flatbed truck. Before picking a crane for your next project, discover how the Telescopic Boom Track Crane compares to its counterparts.

1.  Perfect for smaller projects

If you are looking for a crane to hoist and move smaller loads around your project site, a boom truck might be the right option for you. It is much more affordable and maneuverable than larger cranes, and allows you to lift small to medium-sized loads effortlessly.

 

With the use of their permanently affixed winch, you can rely on them to be prepared for immediate lifting when you need it most. The winch of a telescopic crane, coupled with a rotating and telescopic superstructure, allows load movement linearly, making the crane easier to operate. Furthermore, the fixed winch is designed to be able to lift loads for longer periods of time than knuckle cranes.

2.  Greater Durability

The enclosed boom on boom trucks is designed to protect its hydraulic cylinders and components from the elements, making them less vulnerable to damage from the sun, dust, heat, moisture, and other factors. With a design that protects from wear and tear, telescopic boom trucks have a longer cylinder life and require less costly maintenance than knuckle cranes. The multiple exposed cylinders on a knuckle crane's boom can cause problems in some environments as well, making them less adaptable to some climates.

 

Most boom trucks over 30 tons come with enclosed operator cabins equipped with heat and air conditioning, keeping the operator safe from severe weather conditions, allowing them  to perform their jobs more comfortably.

 

3.  Ease of service and training

With the added benefit of protection from the elements and a design that reduces friction and wear, the telescopic boom truck crane costs less in terms of servicing than the knuckle crane.

 

Many of the setbacks that crane operators may face on the job are due to lack of training on the required equipment. Knuckle boom cranes tend to be more complex than other types of cranes and the complexity of the controls and movement often require several days to train new operators. On the other hand, boom trucks are designed with easy-to-use control systems,  which means the owners of telescopic boom truck cranes have a much easier time training new operators and filling positions quickly.
