FAQS
-
What is a straight boom lift and how is it different from a knuckle boom?
A straight boom lift, also known as a telescopic boom, extends in a direct, linear motion. Unlike a knuckle boom (which bends to reach around obstacles), straight booms are perfect for jobs that require maximum horizontal outreach and height in open areas. They are often used in large construction sites, stadium builds, or high-maintenance external areas.
-
Do I need a license to operate a straight boom lift?
Yes, for booms with a platform height above 11 metres, a High Risk Work Licence (WP Class) is required in Australia. For units under 11m, a Yellow Card is recommended for operator safety. We’re happy to provide information on training requirements and help you choose the right machine based on your crew’s qualifications.
-
Can I use straight boom lifts on rough or uneven ground?
Absolutely. Our straight boom hire fleet includes diesel-powered models with rough-terrain tyres, built to handle sloped, gravel, dirt and unsealed job sites. These machines are ideal for outdoor construction zones and infrastructure projects where stability and power are essential.
-
How much working height or outreach can I get?
Our machines range from 45 feet to 135 feet, with some models offering over 24 metres of horizontal reach. This makes them ideal for tasks such as lighting installation, signage, steel erection, and roof work.
