Equipment Selection Guidelines:

1. Are you looking for a fixed boom, telescopic boom or knuckle boom?
2. How much do you want to lift?
3. At what radius must this lift take place?
4. What is the maximum boom length?
5. At what speed do you want the load to be raised or lowered?
6. How is the unit to be powered: electric, diesel or customer provided?
7. From what location is the unit to be controlled?
8. Is an auxiliary winch (fast line) desired?
