Super Boom Hire

Super Boom Lift Hire From Hire Safe Solutions

Our fleet includes both articulated boom lifts and telescopic booms, available with diesel, hybrid and electric fuel options, giving you the flexibility to meet sustainability goals or handle rougher terrain for long periods. Choose to hire our super boom lifts for large-scale working at height tasks, whether for construction and installation, telecoms, high-reach cleaning or infrastructure maintenance.

Our telescopic super boom lifts offer industry-leading working heights of up to 82m, while our articulated boom lifts offer precision manoeuvrability for operators needing to work up and over various types of obstacles; up to working heights of 48m. They feature rough terrain tyres and powerful four-wheel drive for challenging ground conditions. Where a regular boom lift may fall short, our Super Booms for hire offer increased reach and higher platform capacities, making them ideal for a range of high-reach applications.

Each one of our super booms is highly maintained and serviced in-house by our team, so you can rest assured your hired machine will perform at its best and provide your team and project with safe access. Benefit from a range of hire options to suit your budget and timelines, as well as ongoing support including training, familiarisation and managed service provisions from our accredited team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between articulated and telescopic boom lifts?

Articulated boom lifts are designed with multiple joints enabling them to navigate up, over and around complex infrastructure, walls and narrow aisles where standard telescopic booms are restricted. Articulated booms allow for finer control and precision when positioning in confined environments. Like telescopic booms, they offer great working heights and outreaches but differ in that they can reach areas obstructed by other equipment or structures.

Telescopic super boom lifts have a straight extending boom that provides greater horizontal outreach and maximum working height, making them better suited to open sites where direct access to the work area is available. Both options feature enhanced stability thanks to their unique extendable chassis systems, four-wheel drive and features such as automatic levelling, tilt sensors and variable working envelopes.

What are super booms used for?

Articulated and telescopic super booms are used for a range of working at height applications that require exceptional reach, increased capacity and longer performance. Common applications people hire super booms for include maintenance and repairs, accessing hard-to-reach areas over obstacles, high-rise building construction, power station and industrial plant maintenance, shipbuilding and marine infrastructure, and high-level welding and fabrication. Just tell us your project requirements and we’ll recommend the most suited Super MEWP for the job.

How high can a super boom reach?

MEWPs classed as super booms provide much higher working heights than standard boom lifts. A super boom lift has extensive reaching capabilities and large working heights of 30m or more. They are categorised as Mobile booms (3b) under the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). Hire Safe Solutions is the only provider in the UK and ROI of the Zoomlion Zt82J telescopic boom lift, which is the tallest in the world with a working height of 82.3m.

Do I need training to operate a super boom?

Yes, you will need the proper training to operate a super boom. When hiring a super boom lift, you must comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. This requires proper training and sufficient risk assessment of hazards, site conditions and ground stability. Operators must be trained and competent, typically holding the relevant IPAF PAL card (Category 3b). Although this training is generally sufficient for most boom lifts, Super Booms often feature additional functions, controls and operating procedures that aren’t covered as part of a standard IPAF training course. To complement this, we also offer large MEWP familiarisation training on site, covering the specific machine’s functions, controls and emergency lowering procedures. This ensures operators are confident and familiar with the equipment before use, helping them get the most from the machine while providing greater peace of mind and supporting safe operation on site.

How long can I hire a super boom for?

Hire a super boom from Hire Safe Solutions for as long as you need. We have no maximum hire duration, and provide hire options to support different budgets and project lengths, whether you need to hire for a week, a month or over the course of several years.

Long-term projects also benefit from our managed service provisions, which help ensure you have the right machines when you need them, where you need them. Rather than just a supplier, Hire Safe Solutions works with you and helps in any way we can throughout the entirety of your project.
