Most homeowners would be hard-pressed to identify a boom truck - let alone explain the use of such a truck. Even those who are familiar with this commonly used construction vehicle may fail to appreciate its full range of uses. As a result, homeowners often struggle to complete basic renovations and other tasks safely and efficiently.
Fortunately, you can make your life a lot easier by renting a boom truck from a trusted local company. Of course, it helps to first understand the full range of applications a boom truck can have. If you would like to learn more about how renting a boom truck can benefit you, read on. This article will discuss four common tasks made easier with a boom truck.
Intrepid homeowners often choose to tackle home construction tasks on their own. This could involve anything from replacing damaged or missing shingles, to putting up vinyl siding, to installing new windows. All of these tasks take on an extra degree of difficulty when you have to complete them while perched precariously on a ladder.
A boom truck, on the other hand, allows you the benefit of a level, stable, and much larger platform on which to stand. In addition to making it easier to reach your work area, the platform of a boom truck also provides a handy place to store materials. This saves you the hassle - and the risk - of making frequent trips up and down a ladder.
Trees represent more than just a source of shade -they also increase the value of your property. Of course, the value of a tree will greatly diminish if you do not keep it healthy and attractive. This requires periodic pruning and trimming. It also involves removing any dead or diseased branches before they lead to more serious problems.
Undertaking such tree care with little more than an extension ladder can be highly dangerous, especially since it isn't always apparent which branches will be able to support the weight of your ladder properly. Because a boom truck does not come into direct contact with the tree, it allows for much safer pruning. Boom trucks also allow you to easily get to the best height - a feat that can be difficult when using ladders.
Pruning isn't the only reason you might need to get up close to a tree. Homeowners who are lucky enough to have fruit trees on their property may also benefit from the use of a boom truck. Whether you have a single fruit tree or an entire orchard, you should make the most out of your bounty.
Yet picking fruit can be quite difficult, as much of it will be too high to reach from the ground. Waiting for it to fall will only leave you with bruised and over-ripe fruit. Therefore, consider renting a boom truck for a day or two in order to collect all of that high hanging fruit. Whatever you don't use right away can always be frozen, preserved, or given away to friends.
The outside of a house tends to accumulate a lot of dirt and grime as the seasons roll on. Such dirt gives your home a run-down appearance. It will also make it harder to enjoy clear views out of your windows. Removing such dirt may not be much trouble for those with single story homes.
Those with multiple stories, however, often struggle to achieve uniform results. Renting a boom truck makes cleaning all parts of your house an equal breeze, while also cutting down on the amount of time and effort required.
