Lift, Haul, Repeat: Real-World Uses for Our Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Boom Pole
When you need more than muscle on your job site, the right attachment makes all the difference. Our Heavy-Duty Boom Pole for skid steers is built for jobs that demand strength, reach, and control. Whether you’re clearing storm damage, lifting trusses, or moving heavy equipment around your property, this boom pole turns your skid steer into a multi-purpose powerhouse.
Here’s why it’s one of the most versatile tools you can add to your lineup—and how it can be put to work across a range of everyday jobs.
What Is a Boom Pole for Skid Steers?
A skid steer boom pole is a long, reinforced steel arm that mounts directly to your skid steer’s quick attach plate. It functions like a crane—ideal for hoisting, dragging, or suspending awkward or heavy items that forks or buckets can’t handle efficiently.
Our boom pole is:
Built with high-strength steel
Compatible with standard skid steer quick attach systems
Designed for balance and safety
Rated for heavy lifting up to 1,110 lbs
Practical Uses: How the Boom Pole Solves Common Problems
Lifting Engine Blocks in Tight Workshop Spaces
In small equipment repair shops, removing heavy engine blocks from tight compartments can be a hassle—especially when rolling a cherry picker into place isn’t practical. A boom pole allows you to back your skid steer right into position, lift vertically, and swing the engine clear with ease.
Setting Fence Posts on Acreage
Installing large fence posts on rural or uneven terrain is labor-intensive and time-consuming. A boom pole can be used to lower long, heavy wooden posts directly into pre-dug holes. It simplifies alignment and reduces the strain on workers—especially when setting dozens of posts in a day.
Hoisting Steel Trusses for Barn Construction
DIYers building a pole barn or shed often need to lift long steel trusses or beams into place. Renting a telehandler or crane can be cost-prohibitive, but a boom pole on a skid steer can provide the reach and stability needed to raise and guide the trusses for installation—making the job more affordable without sacrificing safety.
Lifting Logs and Storm Debris After Severe Weather
After a storm, large downed limbs or logs can be difficult to remove. A boom pole offers a controlled way to lift and transport heavy debris without dragging it along the ground or damaging surrounding structures. It’s especially useful for landowners managing woodlots or pasture cleanup.
Ideal For:
Lifting and placing trusses, rafters, and steel beams
Moving engines, logs, hay bales, generators
Hoisting tree limbs and storm debris
Installing fence posts or landscaping features
Retrieving or loading equipment and material pallets (with a hook or sling)
