If you need reach rather than strength, the new generation of swing-cab boom trucks might be better than truck cranes for you. Like their European counterparts, the cranes on boom trucks originally helped place a payload on a job site. A portion of boom trucks will probably always serve this market. At their most price-conscious, boom trucks are operated by one or a few stand-up operator stations. These cranes mount directly behind the truck cab, so the boom faces rearward. This gives the rest of the truck bed space, and, crucially, carrying capacity for payload on top of the rear axle pair.
