MACHINE GUIDE
CHOOSING THE RIGHT OPTION
Straight-boom machines suit infrastructure, steelwork and high-reach construction tasks.
Working height, outreach, ground conditions, access width, power source and platform capacity should all be considered. Providing these details helps suppliers respond with more relevant equipment.
TELESCOPIC BOOM SELECTION
HOW TO CHOOSE WITH MORE CONFIDENCE
Telescopic booms extend in a comparatively direct line and are often selected where substantial horizontal reach is required across an open or less obstructed area.
Their reach capability does not remove the need to assess ground space, machine position and site access. The work point must be considered together with where the base can safely operate.
Machine specifications and operating limits vary by model. The responding supplier should confirm the final equipment selection against the task and site.
SELECTION FACTORS
DETAILS THAT CAN CHANGE THE MACHINE CHOICE
Operating footprint
Ensure there is adequate space for manoeuvring and boom movement.
Terrain
External site conditions may influence drive, tyre and machine configuration.
Workload
Tell the supplier about occupants, tools and materials expected in the platform.
COMMON SELECTION MISTAKES
—Selecting for maximum height while overlooking reach geometry
—Underestimating required ground space
—Not checking the route from delivery area to operating position

COMMON QUESTIONS
When is a telescopic boom commonly considered?+
Where the job needs significant, relatively direct horizontal reach and the site provides enough room for the machine to operate.
What can make one unsuitable?+
Restricted base space, access-route limitations, unsuitable ground, obstructions or a reach geometry that does not match the task.
Should I provide drawings or photographs?+
They can be useful for complex sites. The enquiry system allows supporting information so suppliers can understand the work area more clearly.
