Truck Mounted Booms

Heavy Duty Truck Mounted Booms are ideal for applications where exceptionally large outreaches (up to 32m/105'). Lifting Capacities ( up to 700kg /1540 lbs) and Working heights (up to 62m/205') are required.

Light Duty Truck Mounted Booms are fitted to 3.5 Tonne GVW Trucks which may be driven by customers employees using a standard (PLG) Car Licence and have Working Heights to 20m (66').

Trailer Booms give exceptional working heights (up to 30m/98') from very low gross weights of 3.0 Tonnes allowing use in situations where very low ground pressures are required.

Features and Benefits

A Range of Working Heights from:
Heavy Duty Truck Booms: 26m (85') to 62m (205')
Light Duty Truck Booms: 10m (33') to 20m (66')
Trailer Booms: 12m (40') to 30m (98')

Power Extending Work Platforms up to 3.5m (11') wide rotate around the end of The Telescopic Boom to position the operator parallel to any working surface.

Extendable Reach Tip Booms up to 10m (33') Rotate 180 Degrees around the end of the boom to position the operator parallel to any working surface.

Universal's Large Truck Mounted Booms feature computer controlled jacking system allowing Truck Booms to operate in crowded urban environments by adjusting the jacking base to suit the site conditions available. Additionally "one sided" operation of the Jacking System allows even the largest truck platforms to operate in city streets using only one traffic lane, an option demanded by Local Authority and Police Departments.

Universal Operates "Silent Pack" Power Systems on Truck Booms to give Euro Norm Approved Low Level Noise Emissions allowing urban "Good Neighbour" operations.
