From maximum outreach on open sites to navigating around obstacles in complex areas, our diverse range of super booms ensures you have access to the right equipment to keep your project moving.

When should you hire an articulated super boom?

Articulated boom lifts are ideal for use when your project requires movement around structures, access over obstacles and usage in restricted or complex areas. Hire an articulated boom lift for various projects, including:

• Maintenance and repairs
• Cleaning windows
• Accessing hard-to-reach areas over obstacles
• Tree work and landscaping

Benefits of articulated boom lift

Continuous investment in our fleet, including our telescopic and articulated boom lifts, means you have access to the most advanced machines available. This includes new additions such as the Genie ZX135 and the JLG 1500AJP, alongside the world’s tallest super boom – the Zoomlion ZT82J. Our articulated and telescopic boom lifts deliver exceptional reach and reliable performance on even some of the most demanding sites.

Maneuverability

Articulated boom lifts are designed with multiple joints enabling them to navigate around complex infrastructure, over walls and through narrow aisles where standard telescopic booms are restricted. Similar to telescopic booms, they have an extreme reach capacity but differ in that they can reach areas obstructed by other equipment or structures.

Precise performance

Similar to telescopic booms, articulated booms are designed with automatic levelling, and they also feature tilt sensors and guard rails to provide a stable and secure work environment on the platform. Navigate challenging terrain and obstacles confidently with reliable systems in place that ensure stability and safety.

Versatile Use 

Articulated boom lifts are versatile, allowing you to complete both indoor and outdoor projects. Whether using them for construction, site maintenance, tree trimming, or event set-ups, an articulated boom lift provides a flexible solution to getting the job done efficiently. 

How do Super booms work?

By utilising a heavy-duty telescopic or articulated arm, super booms are capable of reaching extreme heights, with their horizontal outreach often exceeding 100ft. Despite their extensive reach, they remain stable due to their unique extendable chassis systems, 4-wheel drive for rough terrain and in some cases specialised locking mechanisms to secure boom sections in place. 

Benefits of hiring a diesel super boom lift

Longer operating times

Due to the robust diesel engine, you can enjoy operating for extended periods of time without the need to refuel or recharge. Enjoy efficient use on larger projects without disrupting workflow.

Exceptional height

Super booms are engineered to reach extreme working heights with substantial horizontal distance capabilities beyond that of standard booms.  

Their combined ability of vertical and lateral reach allows operators to work in restricted areas. Their exceptional reach reduces the need for repositioning, increasing efficiency and productivity on the majority of sites.

Increased capacity

Not only do they have better capacity than a standard boom, a super boom lift also has increased platform capacity (safe working load). This allows operators to safely lift additional personnel, tools and materials in the basket, reducing the need for multiple lifts and increasing productivity on your site.

Superior stability

Safety is the most important element of any project, and with advanced safety systems such as automatic levelling, wind speed monitoring and load limit detection, our diesel super booms offer maximum security even in challenging environments. 

Stable by design, our super booms offer superior safety when working at heights and feature robust 4×4 drivetrains, allowing safe operation on uneven terrains.

Power and performance

Super booms are built for demanding environments and are inherently more powerful than standard boom lifts, providing the drive and performance needed to tackle the toughest challenges on a range of sites. 

With a robust diesel engine, advanced hydraulic systems and strong traction capabilities, super booms can operate on uneven ground conditions, whilst their enhanced power supports the use of longer booms, providing greater outreach without compromising stability. 

Benefits of an electric Super boom

Reduced Noise and Zero Emissions

Electric super booms are an ideal choice for indoor projects or work in public areas, such as near hospitals and schools, due to their reduced noise levels and zero emissions. Producing no exhaust fumes, they are particularly suited for use in warehouses and other enclosed spaces.

Reduced costs

Hiring an electric model also offers cost and efficiency benefits, including lower fuel costs and reduced maintenance requirements, as electric machines often have fewer moving parts. Enjoy their smooth operation and precise control during work on sensitive tasks. 

Meet Sustainability targets

Electric Super Boom lifts can help you meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, reducing the environmental impact of your project while maintaining workflow.

If you require an electric machine, our Dingli BT30ERT runs on electricity and battery power, offering an exceptional working height of 30.2m and a safe working load of 454kg. Combine performance and sustainability with an electric super boom.

Benefits of hiring a hybrid super boom

Similar to electric super booms, hybrid models help reduce fuel costs while offering flexible performance. Their diesel power makes them ideal for demanding tasks, whilst the smooth operation allows safe and efficient work indoors, providing a cost-effective and adaptable solution across a variety of sites.

Hybrid super booms are also significantly quieter than standard diesel machines, making them ideal for us in public areas without compromising capacity and reliability. 

Hire our Niftylift HR28 hybrid super boom.  Combining the power of diesel with electricity, this super boom provides a flexible option for quiet indoor operation with low emissions and efficient 4×4 performance. Its compact design is ideal for versatile use and eco-friendly access.

Frequently Asked Questions

What working heights are available on super booms?

Super boom lifts offer a range of working heights starting from 30m up to 71m, making them ideal for use on large-scale and complex projects.

Do I need a license to hire a super boom?

When hiring a super boom lift, you must comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. This requires completing a sufficient risk assessment, covering the task, site conditions and ground stability as well as any overhead hazards like power lines. Operators must be trained and competent, typically holding the relevant IPAF PAL card (Category 3b), and a safe system of work should be in place, including emergency rescue procedures. 

At Hire Safe Solutions, we ensure our machines are maintained to peak performance, with a valid six-month LOLER thorough examination certificate and operating instructions. Operators should complete pre-use checks and always use appropriate fall protection.

Safety and well-being of your staff are paramount to us, which is why, alongside investing in our fleet for the latest machinery, we also offer a range of training courses, ensuring your site runs as safely and smoothly as possible.

Which category does a super boom belong to?

A super boom lift has extensive reaching capabilities and large working heights of 30metres and more. They are categorised as Mobile booms (3b) under the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF).

Is a super boom a MEWP?
