Lift and carry with one unit
A boom truck hauls the load on its own deck and cranes it into place with the same truck — one mobilization instead of a delivery plus a separate crane.
Equipment guide
Boom truck service, explained.
A boom truck is a truck mounted crane that carries the load on its own deck and lifts it into place with the same unit — including the knuckle boom picker trucks CraneX runs across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. Certified operator on every truck, by the hour or by the project.
Why a boom truck
One truck instead of two vendors.
For most deliveries that also need a lift, a boom truck replaces a flat deck plus a separate crane.
Reach where the load has to go
Truck mounted booms work over fences, structures and other obstacles, setting loads at radius instead of beside the truck.
Certified operator included
Every boom truck arrives with a certified operator and standard rigging. You book the truck, not a crane plus a crew.
Same day or standing bookings
A single short notice pick, or a unit assigned to your site for multi-day work with a consistent operator.
Typical lifts
What boom trucks move.
- Steel beams, columns and structural packages set for erection crews
- Trusses, joists and engineered lumber placed for residential and multi-family framing
- HVAC units, generators and mechanical equipment landed on rooftops and pads
- Concrete barriers, vaults, pipe and precast placed for civil and municipal work
- Machinery, compressors and industrial equipment delivered and set in position
- Construction material unloaded from the deck and landed exactly where the crew needs it
