Boom Truck Rental in Tempe
In Tempe, boom trucks are handy on tight infill sites and older neighborhoods where a larger crane won’t fit, for roof loading, small rooftop units, and signs.
Tell us what you need and we’ll line up the right boom truck with the vetted local crane companies we work with in Tempe, covering Downtown Tempe and Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, the ASU area, and south Tempe business parks. Typical customers here include mid-rise residential and office buildings, university and research buildings, lakefront mixed-use development, and older industrial and office parks in south Tempe.
Common Tempe jobs

Boom truck rental at a glance
- Typical capacity: roughly 10 to 40 tons rated on common units, with some larger models available
- Typical reach: roughly 70 to 150 feet of boom on many units, more with a jib
- Setup & transport: drives to the site as one road-legal truck and typically sets up in minutes; many have a flatbed that carries material too
Good fits: roof loading and hvac curbs; trusses and beams on residential and light commercial work; signs, light poles, and site amenities; smaller rooftop units and condensers.
Those are headline figures; capacity drops sharply as the load moves farther from the crane, so the crane company sizes it from its load charts using your weight, distances, and site.
Planning a lift in Tempe
- Street-use permits: Tight downtown and lakefront sites often mean the crane sets up in the street. That usually needs a street-use or right-of-way permit and a traffic control plan from the City of Tempe, so start early.
- Streetcar and light rail: The Tempe Streetcar and light rail run along several downtown streets, adding overhead wires, lane limits, and coordination for setups nearby.
- Campus and event areas: Work near ASU and around Town Lake may have to avoid class changes, games, and events. Mention the location so the timing can be planned.
