About This Equipment

About Boom Lifts

A boom lift is an aerial work platform with a basket mounted on an extending arm. Unlike a scissor lift, it reaches out horizontally as well as up, so workers can get above obstacles, across openings or away from the machine's base.

Articulating booms have jointed sections that bend up and over rooflines, equipment and piping. Telescopic booms extend in a straight line for maximum height and horizontal reach. Both are used for steel erection, exterior finishing, glazing, signage and facility maintenance.

Boom lifts are a common rental because many projects only need them for specific phases, and the right reach varies widely from job to job.

Rental Considerations

What to Know Before You Rent

  • Height and outreach

    Confirm both working height and horizontal outreach. Reaching over an obstacle takes more boom than going straight up.

  • Articulating or telescopic

    Articulating booms work around obstacles; telescopic booms maximize reach in open areas.

  • Terrain and power

    Rough-terrain diesel models suit outdoor sites; electric or hybrid models are better for indoor or noise-sensitive work.

  • Platform capacity

    Check the platform's rated capacity for workers, tools and materials.

  • Training and fall protection

    Boom lift operators are generally expected to be trained, and fall protection is commonly required in the platform. Confirm requirements with your provider and employer.

  • Rental duration

    Providers commonly offer daily, weekly and monthly rates. Ask how rates, hour limits, weekends and delivery days are counted so you can plan the rental around your schedule.

This guidance is general. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions, your rental provider's requirements and your jobsite's safety rules.

FAQ

Boom Lift Rental Questions

What's the difference between an articulating and a telescopic boom lift?

An articulating boom has hinged sections that bend up and over obstacles. A telescopic boom extends straight out and typically offers more height and horizontal reach in open areas.

How high can a rental boom lift reach?

Rental fleets typically range from compact booms for low exterior work to very tall telescopic models. Share your working height and outreach with the provider so they can match a machine.

Can boom lifts be used indoors?

Electric and hybrid boom lifts are designed for many indoor settings. Diesel models are generally intended for outdoor use. Confirm floor load limits and ventilation needs for indoor work.

Do boom lift operators need training?

Operators are generally expected to be trained and familiar with the specific machine. Ask the rental provider about familiarization at delivery and follow your employer's requirements.
