You Can Ship Any Type of Boom Lift With Us

“Today Transport” has a long list of successful boom lift shipments in the past, thanks to its top-notch transport vehicles and excellent, cooperative shipping staff. We are experts in hauling tall machinery. Here is a breakdown of the types of boom lifts we haul nationwide.

Articulating\Knuckle Boom Lifts

These are highly adaptable lifts with multiple joints for easy manoeuvrability in tight and narrow spaces. They are complex to handle and require a stable and careful transportation.

Telescoping Boom Lifts

Also known as “exten o arm” machines. These consist of a long telescoping boom that horizontally extends in a straight direction. These types require specialised trailers and sturdy, secure attachment on the transport vehicle bed. Suitable for extremely high-reach tasks.

Aerial Work Platforms

These are lightweight and ideal for providing temporary high-reach access to the workers. Due to their delicate design, they require specialised manoeuvring while moving from one location to another.

Cherry Pickers

These types of boom lifts have a small platform for picking up fruits and typically require towing services to move from one point to another. Once the lift is elevated, these machines cannot be moved until the lift is taken back to its original place.

Scissor Lift

These types are easy to handle based on their size and mode of application. They only move up and down, so they must be placed directly under the work area to reach the tall places.

Mechanical Lifts

These types are generally used for indoor tasks such as reaching to the roof for electrical work; they are comparatively smaller than a scissor lift. We can also refer to them as a smaller scissor lift.

Trailer Mounted

These lifts are similar to telescoping and articulating ones, but they are mounted on a trailer bed for easy navigation at the worksite. Require specialised hauling to prevent damage and ensure safety.

Spider Lift

These lifts have a platform with four stable legs for ground stability. These are lightweight and versatile models of a standard boom lift.

Towable Boom Lifts

Similar to a trailer-mounted boom lift with articulating or telescoping components. However, these types can be towed after being attached to the truck for relocation.

Whether you need to haul a heavy-duty telescoping lift or need towing services. We provide logistics solutions for each type of your machine. With careful handling of the lightweight aerial work platforms, we ensure your lifts are safely transported under the supervision of our qualified and efficient staff, and top-notch transportation equipment is readily available.

Read What Customers Say about Our Transport Services

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any permits or licenses required to ship a boom lift?

Boomlifts are oversized pieces of machinery; therefore, it is necessary to obtain proper permits and licenses for their transport. Various state and federal regulations govern the hauling of oversized machinery, including those related to loading, securement, and route navigation. We adhere to each one of them to ensure our services are reliable and legally compliant.

Why should I choose “Today Transport” to transport my boom lift across the country?

There is no short answer to this query. Our services are backed by more than 16 years of experience. With a success rate of thousands of completed deliveries annually, we have earned a reputation as a licensed, bonded, and insured shipping company. You can trust us to transport your boom lift with cost-effective, DOT-compliant, and reliable logistics solutions.

Do you offer insurance coverage for boom lift shipping?

Yes, we provide full insurance coverage on boom lift relocations. It gives our clients the utmost peace of mind that their equipment is safe with us, and if anything inevitable happens, we can always claim the loss.

Can I arrange for my boom lift to be delivered to my work site?

Absolutely, we provide door-to-door delivery to save you from the hassle of dropping off or picking up from terminals. Our vetted drivers arrive at your designated location to pick up the boom lift and safely deliver it to the location of your choice.

What type of trailers do you use to transport a boom lift?

Our transport vehicles are available in various load capacities with a range of legal limits. Most commonly, flatbeds and lowboys. A RGN or step deck is used for this purpose. However, hotshot trailers are also appropriate for lightweight ones. In addition, we also have specialized loading methods, including crane-assisted or forklift-assisted, to help make shipping easier and more streamlined.

How is a boom lift secured on a trailer?

Our team has extensive knowledge of carefully handling oversized loads; therefore, after shifting the boom lift onto the trailer, our staff secures it with heavy-duty chains, ropes, and tie-downs. The DOT requires inspections of tie-downs after the first 50 miles and then every 150 miles to verify that the load hasn't shifted and remains safe and secure.
