Boom Truck Rental
A boom truck is a truck-mounted crane with a telescopic boom and a flat deck — it drives to the pick, sets its outriggers and lifts from the bed, which suits single picks, truss drops and material handling across Ontario where a full mobile crane would be more machine than the job needs.

How it works
Boom Truck Rental
Boom trucks work best on single picks and short-radius lifts where the truck can park close to the load. Across Ontario that usually means truss and lumber drops on residential builds, HVAC curb units on low commercial roofs, and material handling in yards off Dundas Street and Highway 401 industrial areas. The truck carries its own deck, so the load can ride in and go straight up.
Truck-mounted telescopic boom lifts for single picks, truss and framing drops, HVAC and rooftop unit sets, and material handling where the truck can park within the boom's working radius. Outrigger setup on the truck's own pads.
A boom truck is not the right machine for every lift. If the pick radius is long, the piece is heavy, or the truck cannot get within reach of the landing zone, the job needs a mobile crane instead. The common mistake is booking a boom truck for a lift that actually needs a bigger crane, which costs a second trip.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A boom truck is a telescopic crane mounted on a truck chassis with a flat deck behind the cab. A mobile crane is a dedicated lifting machine with a separate carrier. The boom truck can carry material on its deck and lift from the same position, which suits single picks and short-radius work.
Single picks where the truck can park close to the load: truss and lumber drops on residential builds, HVAC curb units on low commercial roofs, and material handling in yards. If the pick radius is long or the piece is heavy, the lift moves to a mobile crane.
The truck has to park within the boom's working radius for the weight being lifted. That radius shrinks as the load gets heavier, so the parking spot and the landing point both matter. If the truck cannot get close enough, a mobile crane is the right machine.
Yes, on low commercial roofs where the truck can park within reach and the boom can clear the parapet. The unit weight and the radius from the outrigger pad to the curb determine whether the boom truck covers it or whether the lift needs a larger crane.
The piece weight, the radius from where the truck can park to the landing point, the height it has to clear, and any overhead lines or obstructions in the boom path. Photos of the site help confirm access before the truck is dispatched.
Yes. The truck sets its own outrigger pads before any lift. The pads spread the load into the ground, so the setup surface needs to take the outrigger pressure. Soft or freshly graded ground may need cribbing under the pads.
