Boom Truck Service in Fort Lauderdale

Boom Truck Service, Fort Lauderdale

Roughly 20 minutes north of the yard. We bring the same fleet and the same certified operators to Fort Lauderdale that we bring anywhere else between West Palm Beach and South Miami.

The boom truck is the machine we send most. It drives to the job like a truck, sets up in a driveway or a lane, and puts serious rated capacity on the hook without the cost or footprint of a full crane. For AC sets, roofing loads, tarps, sheds and generators, it is almost always the right answer.

The 17-ton is the everyday workhorse: quick to set up, at home on residential streets, and done with most change-outs inside two hours. The 35-ton brings longer reach and heavier single picks for commercial roofs, deep lots and anything the 17 cannot stretch to.

Working in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is close enough that we can often get there the same day, and varied enough that no two jobs look alike. Downtown and Las Olas are mid and high-rise work with loading-zone coordination, while a few blocks away Victoria Park and Rio Vista are narrow historic streets with big shade trees and driveways a boom truck has to be threaded into.

The waterfront adds its own category. This is a marine city, and we get asked for lifts over seawalls, onto docks and around canal-front properties where the crane sets up on one side of a very expensive piece of landscaping and reaches over it.

Beach-side condo work is mostly AC and generator sets on decks, and it almost always needs a booked window with building management. Tell us the building name when you call and we will tell you what the setup usually involves.

Which truck your job gets

• ■
  Weight on the hook. Most residential picks run under a ton. Past that, or past a long reach, the 35-ton takes the job.
• ■
  Reach, not just height. A light load far from the truck needs more machine than a heavy load up close. Tell us both numbers.
• ■
  Where the truck can sit. Driveway, street or lane. Overhead power lines are the single biggest thing that changes the plan.
• ■
  Time on site. Boom trucks set up fast. Most single picks are a one-to-two-hour window, not a day rate.
