Fast, economical lifts across Lubbock
A boom truck is a crane mounted on a commercial truck chassis. It drives to the site like any heavy truck, sets up in minutes and is often the most cost-effective choice for lifts that don't need a large mobile crane.
Typical boom trucks fall roughly in the 15 to 60 ton class, with long telescopic booms that reach rooftops and second floors easily. Many can also haul the material they set.
- HVAC rooftop unit (RTU) installs and swaps
- Roof trusses, beams and building materials
- Signs, light poles and billboards
- Tanks, generators, transformers and small equipment
- Pump jack and oil field component work
Boom truck or mobile crane?
Choose a boom truck when the load is moderate, the site is tight or time matters — setup is quick and travel is cheap. Step up to a hydraulic truck or all-terrain crane when the load is heavy, the radius is long or the lift is high. A provider can tell you which fits once they know the weight, distance and height.
Typical boom truck cost
As a typical national estimate, a published rate sheet shows about $155/hour for a 23-ton boom truck with operator (RiggingForce). Minimum hours and travel usually apply. Lubbock pricing varies; your matched provider quotes the real number.

Common questions
How much weight can a boom truck lift?
It depends on the model and, above all, the radius. Boom trucks are commonly rated roughly 15–60 tons at short radius, but capacity drops as the boom extends. The provider checks the load chart against your weight and distance.
Is a boom truck good for HVAC rooftop units?
Yes — rooftop units on one- and two-story buildings are one of the most common boom truck jobs around Lubbock. Share the unit weight and the distance from the truck to the curb.
Do boom truck rentals come with an operator?
Most boom truck jobs are booked operated, with a certified operator included. Bare rentals are for companies with their own certified operators and insurance.
Is there a minimum charge?
Many crane companies bill a minimum call-out (commonly several hours) plus travel or mobilization, and some add charges for permits, rigging crews or overtime. Ask the provider to itemize these in your quote.
