A coil boom, or pole, is used to move coiled ropes or other coiled materials. Such as wire, pipes, or any other rolled or cylindrical material.
Carpet booms, or poles, are used for the transporting of carpet or any other rolled flooring. Although other kinds of heavier lifting are not possible with this type of attachment.
A shooting boom, or telehandler, is most often used in outdoor construction, ranching jobs, or any other job where rough terrain is involved. This telescopic boom has a lift height of at least twenty to sixty feet.
Pipe booms are used for moving pipes and other similarly shaped objects. Although if a pipe boom is to be used then it is recommended that care should be taken to ensure that damage to the interior of the pipes is prevented. Some business or construction concerns that often have a need for lifting pipes prefer to use a lifting sling instead of a pipe boom.
