Quick Answers to Common Questions

How fast can you get a boom truck on site in New Orleans or Lafayette?

Same day for most NOLA metro and Acadiana calls if we get the request before noon. Next morning dispatch for late day or weekend calls and jobs farther out across the Gulf Coast. Emergency and storm response runs 24 hours a day from both yards, prioritizing utility, municipal, and insurance cleared work first.

I'm not sure what size boom truck I need. Can you help me spec the right truck?

Send the load weight, the lift radius (how far from the truck the load lands), and any site obstacles or overhead lines. Photos of the site help us scope outriggers and ground bearing. We match the right truck from our 18 to 40 ton fleet and confirm the lift plan before we roll.

Are you insured? Can you list us as additional insured on a Certificate of Insurance?

Yes. We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for refinery and commercial work. We name your company as additional insured on a per job basis at no extra cost. Send the COI request with the job details and we'll have it back the same business day.

My site has soft or marshy ground. Do you bring crane mats?

We bring standard outrigger pads on every dispatch. For soft soil, marshy ground, or sensitive surfaces like parking decks and finished landscaping, we bring crane mats sized to the truck and the load. Tell us the site conditions when you quote and we'll plan the right ground bearing setup before the truck rolls.

Do you have TWIC certified operators for refinery and petrochem work?

Yes. Operators with current TWIC cards, RAVS current compliance, OSHA 10/30 training, and drug and background test paperwork on file are available for Gulf Coast turnarounds, plant shutdowns, and refinery row work. Send the site's contractor requirements and we'll match a qualified operator to the dispatch.
