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.
