Boom truck are often used by phone, cable television and utilities companies as they have extended folded arms which are normally folded over the roofs of company vans. On the end of the extension of extendable arms usually sits a bucket-like apparatus. When a container truck has an extendable boom installed on the roof this is sometimes known as an "aerial boom truck" or a "cherry picker". It is capable of transporting workers to the peak of a telephone or electrical pole. Bucket boom lift trucks have a hauling capacity of approximately 350 lbs to 1500 lbs or 158 kg to 680 kg plus they are able of extending the bucket up to 34 feet or to around 10 meters into the air.
Building boom trucks or heavy duty boom trucks will often have a crane appendage on the rear. Often termed knuckle booms, these cranes can be shorter and more compact than the trolley boom, which has a boom capable of extending the length of the truck. Crane boom vehicles possess a raising capacity between 10 to 50 tons or around 9 to 45 metric tons.
An added modification of boom truck is the concrete boom, which have a tube with a nozzle at the end of the truck to pump concrete and other resources. The areas where these resources have to be deposited is commonly inaccessible to the vehicle or is located at a great height, for that reason, the boom of a bigger concrete boom truck might be extended 230 feet or approximately 71 meters. The truck then pumps the material through the boom completely depositing it into the space where it is needed.
Fire departments are equipped with a lengthy bucket boom used to hoist firefighters to the high floors of a building. Once in place, this boom enables them to direct water onto a fire or to rescue ensnared victims. Some of the older hook and ladder lift trucks have been replaced with current boom vehicles.
There is in addition a small self-propelled boom truck, analogous to a forklift that is existing on the market for sizable warehouses or production plants. These mini boom vehicles can raise employees to upper storage areas or to the ceiling of the building. They are far safer and more stable than utilizing an extension ladder for the same function.
1 Perform a pre-shift check prior to operating the equipment. or OSHA guidelines state that a pre-shift checklist must be performed at the start of each work shift. Each and every different machine along with its attachments has its own checklist listing brakes, steering, lights, emergency brakes, horn, controls and safety features.
2 Start up the equipment and check controls. First make sure that your seatbelt is fastened and the seat is securely in place and adjusted for your comfort. Look under the machinery after you move it for any signs of leaks. The operation of each kind of forklift is different.
3 Don't forget differences in the basics of forklift operation compared to a standard vehicle. The rear end swing of the forklift happens because of the fact that the truck steers using its rear wheels. Forgetting this fact is a major reasons for injuries and accidents to workers. The nearly 90-degree turn from the front wheels must be performed with utmost caution. These top-heavy machinery have a high center of gravity even without a load. When transporting or lifting a load this top-heaviness is exacerbated.
4 Keep forks close to the ground when traveling. Utilize caution when approaching loads. Be certain the forks line up correctly with the pallet. Lift the load just as high as is required, tilting it back to help stabilize the machinery. Drive backwards only if the load is so big that it obstructs the vision of the driver.
5 Check the wheels on trucks/trailers prior to loading and unloading. Do not travel on inclines, particularly when carrying a load. The machine is susceptible to tip-overs on a slope. When driving on an incline is unavoidable, always drive up the incline and back down. The load must be kept on the uphill side of the truck.
6 The operator should be definitely in control all the time. The main reason for operator injuries is tip-over. The operator should never try to jump out of the truck in case of a tip-over. The safest approach is to lean away from the direction of fall while holding the steering wheel and bracing your feet.
