Booms for the Highest Challenges

Engineered for precision and power, our boom lifts are built to elevate your operations—literally and strategically—tackling the most demanding heights, navigating complex spaces with articulating booms, and delivering reliability across any terrain or jobsite.

Power Married to Stability

Telescopic booms have a straight arm, giving them more horizontal reach than articulating booms. The machine’s turntable may be rotated 360 degrees continuously in either direction and maneuvered by the operator from the work platform while the boom is extended. Because the arm slides into itself, telescopic booms are more compact than scissor lifts, making them easier to store and transport. They also have greater stability and higher weight capacity than articulating lifts—ideal for pairing with heavy construction equipment in demanding environments.

Up and Over, Down and Around

Articulating booms can access the hardest-to-reach places. With a jointed arm for enhanced agility, they are ideal for work in crowded spaces and around complex structures. The platform of an articulating boom can move horizontally or vertically, depending on the model. These lifts are drivable at full elevation and come in a variety of sizes to accommodate narrow access points—making them a smart choice alongside compact solutions like three-wheel forklifts or when maneuvering in constrained warehouse layouts supported by racking systems.

Deciding on the Right Boom: What You Need to Know

The height of the job
The weight of personnel and supplies
Aerial obstructions to accessing the worksite
The capacity of the floor or ground material
Obstacles to transporting the boom, such as doorways
Safety hazards of the job site, such as wind

Articulating and Telescopic Booms: Reaching Heights of Up to 86 Feet

For the Highest Jobs

Our diesel and dual-fuel telescopic booms provide the greatest reach and stability. Lifting up to 1,000 lbs., their platforms can reach maximum heights from 40 to 86 feet. Their powerful engines can handle uneven terrain up to 45% gradeability—ideal for pairing with high-capacity telehandlers on rugged jobsites.

These mobile elevating work platforms are quick to set up, reaching full elevation in less than 70 seconds. They can be maneuvered forward, backward, right, or left from the platform even while the boom is extended. Numerous options and kits are available to outfit these machines for any environment or task.

For Hard-to-Reach Tasks

Designed for a wide variety of applications, including rough terrain worksites, our diesel and dual-fuel articulating booms have maximum platform heights ranging from 45 to 84 feet and load capacity of 500 lbs. or more. Our inventory includes models with continuous, 360-degree swing and below-ground reach for an unparalleled working envelope.

Articulating booms can maneuver up, over, and around obstacles such as permanent structures, trees, and equipment to complete the most challenging industrial tasks. Options include an articulating jib and generator power at the platform, as well as packages for welders, glaziers and plasma cutters, and cold weather operations.

For Indoor and Sensitive Worksites

Our battery-powered booms come in a wide range of sizes and include both telescopic and articulating models. They each have a 500 lb. load capacity while maximum platform heights range from 22 to 45 feet. Easy on both the natural and work environment, these lifts are quiet and emissions-free.

With gradeability up to 30% and small chassis footprints, transporting and positioning these aerial lifts is simple. They come with a self-leveling platform and tilt alarm for optimal stability and safety—perfect for maneuvering in indoor facilities or sensitive jobsite environments.
