It is capable of transporting workers to the top of a telephone or electrical pole. Bucket boom lift trucks have a lifting capacity of around 350 lbs to 1500 lbs or 158 kg to 680 kg and are capable of extending the bucket up to 34 feet or just over 10 meters into the air.
Heavy equipment boom trucks or construction boom vehicles might have a hoist attached to the rear. These cranes known as knuckle booms might be short and compact or be of the trolley boom kind, where the crane is capable of extending the length of the truck bed. Hoist boom vehicles possess a raising capacity between 10 to 50 tons or just about 9 to 45 metric tons.

The places where these materials ought to be deposited is usually inaccessible to the vehicle or is found at a substantial height, therefore, the boom of a larger concrete boom truck may be extended 230 feet or approximately 71 meters. The vehicle then pumps the concrete through the boom completely depositing it into the space where it is required.

Lift the load just as high as is needed, tilting it back to help stabilize the machinery. Only drive backwards if the load is so big that it interferes with driver vision.

The safest approach is to lean away from the direction of fall while holding the steering wheel and bracing your feet.
