Choosing The Right Sign Truck Or Crane

Sign and lighting work often means working close to roadways, parking lots, and sometimes near energized lines, so working height, horizontal reach, and insulation rating matter as much as the brand name. An overcenter boom can reach past the truck centerline to the opposite side of a sign or pole, which is useful when repositioning the truck is not practical.

Pro Tip

If your crew works near roadway lighting or overhead power, confirm the dielectric rating of any unit before buying, even if the primary use is sign installation. Our team can walk you through insulation testing history on any unit you are considering.
