Discovering the world of boom lifts
A boom lift is a Crane or hoist that lifts things up and can relocate them. The boom itself is the horizontal arm that protrudes or sticks out to give leverage and soon leverage and space when lifting. The boom allows a greater distance of space and reach from the mast of the lift.
The image below shows a dilapidated historic boom crane at the Baltimore Harbor, previously used to unload cargo from small boats.
The engineering of tower cranes or saddle cranes is based on a boom. Also, in many cases, gantry cranes can be fitted with articulating booms.
