Before we come
Tell us these things
- Is the crane stowed? A raised boom changes the plan.
- Do the brakes release? Air brakes need air or caging.
- Tires hold air? Flats change how it tows.
- Where is it parked? Lane, yard or soft ground.

Questions
Common questions
Can you tow a boom truck with locked air brakes?
Yes. The tow driver can supply air or cage the brakes. Tell us ahead so they come ready.
What if the boom won't come down?
Send a photo. We'll plan to lower and secure it safely before the tow.
Is a dead boom truck worth anything?
Yes. The chassis, the crane and the steel all count.
