What is Boom Length?

Boom length is the length of the extendable part of a crane that determines how far and how high the crane can lift a load. The required boom length is dependent on the weight of the load and the distance from the crane’s center of rotation (radius). Accurate calculation of boom length is crucial for the safety and efficiency of crane operations.
