Towable boom lifts—also known as trailer boom lifts—are a flexible, cost-effective solution for a wide range of elevated work applications. Designed to be towed by a vehicle and equipped with stabilizing outriggers, these lifts provide excellent height access without the need for a permanent mounting or self-propulsion system. Whether you're in construction, maintenance, tree trimming, or signage installation, understanding what a towable boom lift offers can help you make the right purchase decision.
In this guide, we’ll answer common questions like:
► What is a towable boom lift?
► How high can a towable boom lift go?
► What ground types are suitable for use?
We’ll also share specifications from our models and key buying tips to help you choose the right lift.
A towable boom lift is an aerial work platform that can be transported using a vehicle. It typically features a trailer-style chassis, articulating boom arms (or telescopic arms in some models), and hydraulic outriggers for stability during operation.
These machines are designed for temporary and semi-permanent applications, offering vertical and horizontal reach in hard-to-access locations. Towable boom lifts are ideal for tasks that require elevation in multiple locations across a job site or in remote areas where driving a self-propelled lift isn’t feasible.
► Trailer-mounted chassis
► Hydraulic or manual outriggers for stability
► Articulating or telescopic boom arms
► Compact storage and easy towing
► Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
Towable boom lifts are available in a variety of height configurations. The working height typically ranges from 8 meters to 22 meters (approximately 26 to 72 feet).
| Model | Load Capacity kg /(Ib) | Lift Height m/(ft) | Overall Size(m) |
| TGZ-8 | 200(440Ibs) | 8 (26ft) | 5.2*1.585*1.9 |
| TGZ-10 | 200(440Ibs) | 10(32ft) | 5.4*1.665*1.9 |
| TGZ-12 | 200(440Ibs) | 12(39ft) | 6.4*1.665*1.9 |
| TGZ-14 | 200(440Ibs) | 14(45ft) | 6.2*1.73*2.1 |
| TGZ-16 | 200(440Ibs) | 16(52ft) | 7.0*1.73*2.2 |
| TGZ-18 | 200(440Ibs) | 18(59ft) | 7.1*1.85*2.26 |
| TGZ-20 | 200(440Ibs) | 20(65ft) | 7.7*1.85*2.26 |
All models can be customized with different platform sizes and power options.
We offer a range of power options to suit different job site conditions:
► AC Power (220V/380V) – Best for indoor or stable power sources
► DC Battery Power (24V/48V) – Suitable for mobile outdoor applications
► Diesel Engine – Ideal for remote or heavy-duty operations
► Optional Track (Crawler) Base – For uneven or soft ground conditions
► Concrete and asphalt – Stable and flat
► Paved industrial floors – Smooth and reinforced
► Level gravel – Must be compacted and dry
► Firm grass/turf – When dry and with load distribution pads
► Wet or muddy grass – Risk of sinkage or instability
► Loose sand or dirt – Poor stability, even with outriggers
► Uneven rocky terrain – May require tracked base or off-road boom lift
When in doubt, always use outrigger mats or plywood under the feet to distribute the load.
Towable boom lifts are versatile and commonly used across the following industries:
► Building Maintenance (cleaning windows, fixing facades)
► Tree Trimming (arborists and landscaping)
► Sign Installation (billboards, commercial signage)
► Warehouse Lighting & HVAC Work
► Event Setup (lighting rigs, speakers, temporary installations)
By selecting the right height, platform capacity, and power source, these lifts can easily outperform ladders or scaffolding in terms of safety and efficiency.
► Height Range: 8m to 22m (26 to 72 feet)
► Rated Load: 200 kg
► Multiple Power Sources: Electric, diesel, battery
► Optional Crawler Base: For all-terrain use
► Customizable Colors, Voltage, Dimensions
► Reliable After-sales Support and CE Certification
All of our units are tested before delivery, with photos and videos provided upon request.
When selecting a towable boom lift, consider:
1. Max Working Height Needed
