Boom Truck Rental in Casper, WY
A boom truck is a crane mounted on a flatbed truck, so it can haul material and lift it in the same trip. It is often the most economical way to handle lighter lifts around town.

Boom truck vs. mobile crane
Boom trucks generally carry less capacity and reach than a full mobile crane, but they are quicker to set up, fit on residential streets and tight lots, and can bring material with them. When the load is heavy, the reach is long, or the pick is over a building, a larger crane may be required. The operator will check the load chart for your exact radius before committing.
Help the operator size the truck
- Heaviest piece: weight of the heaviest single item, including any pallet or crate.
- Where it lands: height and how far the drop point is from where the truck can park.
- Access: width of the driveway or alley, slopes, soft ground, and overhead wires.
- Count and duration: number of picks and roughly how long the work should take.

Common questions
Can a boom truck set roof trusses for a house?
Often, yes. Boom trucks are commonly used for residential and light commercial trusses. Whether a specific truck can reach depends on truss length and weight and how close the truck can park, so include those details in your request.
Do I need a permit to use a boom truck on my street?
If the truck will block a public street, sidewalk, or alley, the local government may require a right-of-way or street-use permit or traffic control. Requirements vary by city, so check with the City of Casper or your town, or ask the operator what they usually arrange.
Is a boom truck cheaper than a crane?
For lighter lifts it is often the more economical option, because the truck is smaller, sets up quickly, and can haul material. Pricing is set by each operator, so request a quote for your specific job.
