The boom is secured to a vertical mast which measures up to 20 feet long. Jib cranes can transport loads between any areas within the boom's arc of rotation. Light duty models are utilized in warehouses and factories for loads weighing as much as 5 tons. The BestJibCranes.com website features the major jib crane models as being either wall-mounted, mast mounted or free-standing. Free Standing Free-standing jib cranes are able to stand alone not requiring support from the building structure. The horizontal boom in this particular situation is attached to a pivoting vertical column which is anchored solidly to the building floor. This type of jib crane needs a foundation made of either steel or concrete and could rotate a full three hundred sixty degrees. Mast-Type The vertical column on the mast-type jib cranes are supported by pivot points at the bottom and the top. These pivots are connected to the building floor and the overhead steel structure. These jib-cranes offer three hundred sixty degrees of rotation with the benefit of not requiring the massive foundation needed for free-standing units. Wall Mounted The wall-mounted jib cranes provide a horizontal boom which is attached to the building wall as opposed to the normal vertical column. These machine are ideal in places where the full three hundred sixty degree rotation is not needed and provide up to 200 degrees of rotation. There are two model varieties, depending on how the boom is supported. One of the types uses a tie rod that is connected from above the wall to the boom. The other kind supports the boom from below by using a cantilever brace which is connected to the wall as well. A boom truck utilizes a winch to recover heavy things or move materials to areas which are usually not accessible. For instance, they are normally used maneuvering supplies to a hillside or over a ditch or to reach the top of a building. A huge truck is equipped with a boom winch. This is mounted in the bed of the truck and then it is capable of transporting construction things and other equipment from street-side to a particular place. There is another boom truck design which is equipped with a cherry picker. This version allows arborists to access treetops easily. The Vehicle Terex's Stinger BT 3063 model has a reach of 113-feet and is equipped with both outriggers and stabilizers. A boom truck can range from an aerial work platform which is moved by a hydraulic lifting device which is mounted on the bed, up to a Class 8 tractor-trailer rig with a bucket. It is also possible to have a modified boom lift made to meet the particular requirements of the buyer. Cherry Picker Cherry pickers or bucket booms allow employees to reach excellent heights. Normally, cherry pickers or buckets transport workers from the ground up to high areas like for example the sides of buildings, treetops, up utility poles or for fire department rescue and firefighting. Location The boom platform can be operated by remote from the truck'[s cab. Either the boom is mounted on a separate trailer or on the bed of a large truck. Booms which are bigger need outriggers which extend horizontally from the truck so as to level out and stabilize the crane throughout its use. Controls A cab-over-engine model boom truck has a control cluster capable of moving the boom located in the cab. It is normally a panel in the boom itself on the side of the bed.
