0 companies listed
Boom controls manage the positioning of the vacuum boom arm that directs excavated material into the debris tank. Precise boom control allows operators to reach dig sites without repositioning the truck.
What to Look For
- Boom reach and articulation range for your typical job site layouts
- Control type (hydraulic joystick, wireless remote, or proportional)
- Load rating and wind resistance for extended boom positions
- Safety lockouts and overload protection systems

Frequently Asked Questions
How far can a hydrovac boom reach?
Most hydrovac booms reach 8-27 feet depending on the manufacturer and model. Longer booms reduce the need to reposition the truck but add weight and complexity.
What is proportional boom control?
Proportional controls adjust boom speed based on how far the joystick is moved, giving operators smoother, more precise positioning compared to on/off hydraulic controls.
