Boom Trucks have different styles and applications.

One of the benefits of boom trucks is that they are quick to set up and do not require additional equipment. Most boom trucks are typically mounted on a flatbed truck. This gives the ability to pick up the load, place the load on the bed of the truck, and haul any material to any job site.

Some boom trucks are mounted on semi-trucks that allows them to haul more or longer loads — for example, long pipe — on a flatbed trailer. The capacities of boom trucks range up to 44 tons and boom lengths around 140 feet.
