Boom Truck Service in Hollywood

Boom Truck Service, Hollywood

About 10 minutes. This is the closest city to our yard. We bring the same fleet and the same certified operators to Hollywood 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 Hollywood

Hollywood is effectively our back yard. The West Park yard sits right on its edge, which makes this the easiest place in South Florida for us to say yes to a short-notice job. If something goes down on a Tuesday morning in Hollywood, we can usually do something about it that week.

Most of the housing stock is post-war single-family with flat and low-slope roofs, carports, and the narrow side yards that come with lots platted in the 1950s. That is bread-and-butter AC change-out and tarp-lift work, and it is where the 17-ton boom truck spends much of its life.

East toward the beach the job shifts to mid-rise condo buildings along the Broadwalk, where the work is rooftop mechanical and generator sets and the real task is booking a window with the association. West of I-95 the lots open up and setup gets simple again.

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.
