What Is a Straight Telescopic Boom Lift?

Straight telescopic boom lifts, or stick booms, feature a single arm. They’re a common alternative to articulated booms, which can be more difficult to use because of their multiple sections. Stick booms, in comparison, are easier to control because their boom only moves in one direction.

Stick booms have the greatest horizontal reach of all aerial platforms. Because of their high reach, straight telescopic booms have a wider base than other lifts. Base widths are between eight to 10 feet, depending on the model of your straight telescopic boom rental. An average straight telescopic boom features a platform height between 40 and 80 feet, but it’s not uncommon to see specialized booms with heights of up to 200 feet. Platform widths typically have a standard size of eight feet or larger, which is one of the widest bases compared to other aerial lifts. The stowed height of most telescopic booms is under 10 feet, and telescopic booms use diesel or dual fuel.

Telescopic boom lift rentals are available with various tire options to meet the needs of different job sites. Tire options include rough-terrain tires, which allow your equipment to travel across gravel and shale. Other accessories for our straight telescopic boom rentals include:

• Light kit
• Welder ready package
• Tool tray
• Tow kit

Specialty Uses for Renting Straight Telescopic Booms

Straight telescopic boom lifts are specially designed to reach extremely high locations with minimal horizontal movement.

They are often found in industrial construction projects, along with bridge work, multi-story building construction, and industrial inspection applications.

Benefits of Renting a Straight Telescopic Boom Lift

The main benefit of straight telescopic booms is their ability to provide maximum elevation up to 185 feet. Rough terrain types are also available, which usually have outriggers to stabilize the machine. Renting a telescopic boom lift is becoming a more common choice for companies and contractors because of their many versatile uses. Uses for telescopic boom rentals include:

• Building construction, maintenance or cleaning
• Electrical, lighting or sign repairs
• Inspecting bridges
• Maintaining buildings

Reasons for renting one of these lifts instead of buying include:

• Temporary projects that require reaching extreme heights
• Limited number of jobs that require working in tight spaces
• Seasonal tasks where a telescopic boom lift is needed

Some small and large businesses also choose to rent because they can lower their maintenance and storage costs. Renting is a smart decision when you rarely use a straight telescopic boom lift — for example, if you only need it seasonally or for a single project.

At MacAllister Rentals, we make the rental process easy. Our family-owned business is made up of lift experts who can help you find a straight telescopic boom lift for rent that meets your project’s needs.

Considerations for Renting a Straight Telescopic Boom

When renting a telescopic boom, consider the width of the base. Compared to other aerial lifts, straight telescopic boom bases are wider, so your job site must be able to accommodate accordingly.

Depending on your project’s location, you may also want to contemplate the option of renting a rough terrain machine that has outriggers. Booms that are diesel powered and have more reach feature larger price tags for both renting and purchasing options.
