Boom Truck Rental and Knuckle Boom Service in NYC

Looking for Boom Truck Rental NYC? We provide knuckle boom services for construction, equipment delivery, and rooftop projects. Fast scheduling and licensed operators.

What Is a Boom Truck and When Do You Need One?

A boom truck also referred to as a knuckle boom crane or articulating crane is a truck-mounted crane with a hydraulic articulating arm that can extend, fold, and reach over and around obstacles. Unlike a traditional mobile crane that requires significant setup space and street closures, a boom truck can deploy quickly from a standard parking lane, making it the preferred hoisting solution for New York City’s congested job sites.

 

NYC’s dense urban environment creates constant demand for boom truck rental services. Narrow one way streets, overhead subway infrastructure, loading dock restrictions, and strict DOT operating windows all require a crane solution that is compact, fast to mobilize, and operated by a crew that understands the city’s regulatory environment. RiggingNYC’s boom trucks are purpose-equipped for NYC street operations, and every job is planned and supervised by a DOB-certified Master Rigger.

Rigging NYC Boom Truck Deliveries

Dealing with large material that needs to be unloaded with a machine can be a challenge, especially if that type of equipment is not on the job site. We can overcome that problem with our Boom Truck Delivery Service. Our boom allows us to unload material off of our truck and place it on the ground at your job site or shop so the material is there and ready to go when you need it. No longer do you have to look at our truck pull in with your material and think “How am I going to get that off the truck?”

 

Boom trucks are a cost effective solution for the hoisting of jobsite materials.

Rigging NYC provides boom truck services, including a 40 ton boom truck and trained and licensed operators. Our boom truck services offer you hands-on assistance from the beginning of your construction project to its successful end.

Case Study: Rooftop HVAC Exchange — Astoria, Queens

Project

A commercial property owner in Astoria, Queens needed to replace two aging rooftop condensing units on a 4-story mixed-use building. The building fronted a two-lane street with on-street parking on both sides. The property owner had received competitive quotes from full mobile crane operators but found the cost prohibitive for this scale of lift.

RiggingNYC Solution

RiggingNYC deployed a 20-ton knuckle boom truck. Our operator and rigging crew arrived at 7:00 AM, secured a temporary lane closure with NYPD Traffic coordination, and completed both unit exchanges by 10:30 AM. Total street closure time was under four hours, and no damage occurred to the building facade or surrounding property.
