Renting a crane for a half-day lift eats the profit out of a job, and not every site has room for one anyway. A skid steer boom extends your machine's reach into a jib, so you can set a roof truss, place a beam, lift a motor, or move nursery stock with the loader you already brought to the site. Trading crane rental for an attachment you own is the whole appeal of running a boom on a skid steer.

Builders, landscapers, and crews handling awkward overhead loads reach for a boom when a bucket or forks cannot get the reach or the placement right. Skid Steer Store carries boom attachments across jib, truss, tree, and telescoping styles, with fitment guidance to match the boom's reach and capacity to your machine. The right boom for a skid steer pays off on every lift you no longer have to schedule a crane around.

Best Skid Steer Booms for...

Roof Truss and Beam Setting

The best skid steer boom for setting trusses is a hydraulic truss boom that reaches out and up to place roof trusses and long beams from ground level. Extended reach keeps crews off ladders and reduces manual handling of heavy, awkward members. A hydraulic truss jib with a long extended reach suits framing and roofing crews.

General Jobsite Lifting

The best skid steer boom for general lifting is an adjustable jib boom with a hook that handles motors, equipment, and crated loads without a crane. Multiple hook positions and a telescoping arm let you match reach to the load and the spot you are placing it. A telescoping jib crane covers the widest range of everyday lifts.

Tree and Nursery Work

The best skid steer boom for nursery work is a tree boom that cradles balled stock and moves trees for planting, loading, and unloading. A long fixed arm with a lifting point lets you position root balls and greenery without crushing them. A tree boom suits landscapers and nursery operations handling live stock.

Lifting in Tight or Restricted Access

The best skid steer boom for tight access is a compact jib that places loads where a crane cannot reach or fit. The skid steer's maneuverability lets you carry a load into a confined area and set it precisely. A shorter jib boom matched to your machine's capacity handles restricted-access lifts safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a skid steer boom fit my machine?

Most skid steer booms use universal quick-attach mounting plates that fit the majority of skid steer and compact track loader brands. Verify your machine's attachment plate style, and check rated capacity and any hydraulic requirements for powered or telescoping models, before purchasing to confirm a proper match.

Can a skid steer boom replace a crane for small lifts?

Yes, for small to mid-size lifting tasks a skid steer boom is a cost-effective alternative to a crane. It adds mobility and versatility on sites where crane access is limited or renting a crane is not practical for lighter loads, letting you handle the lift with a machine already on site.

How does lift capacity change as a boom extends?

Lift capacity drops as the boom extends, because reaching farther from the machine reduces how much weight it can safely handle. A telescoping boom is rated highest when retracted and lowest when fully extended. Always check the capacity at the reach you actually need, not just the maximum rating.

What is the difference between a jib boom and a truss boom?

A jib boom is a general lifting arm with a hook for moving motors, crates, and equipment, while a truss boom is built specifically to reach out and place roof trusses and long beams. Choose a jib for versatile lifting and a truss boom for framing and roofing work.

What should I consider when choosing a skid steer boom?

Consider your typical load weight, the reach distance you need, and your machine's rated operating capacity. Match the boom's capacity at full reach to the heaviest load you lift, and confirm the mount fits your machine. Contact our team with your make and model for a recommendation.
