Selecting between boom trucks and crane trucks requires precise capacity planning, but managing both demands specialized tracking and maintenance workflows. Manual logs and reactive servicing lead to missed hydraulic inspections, expired operator certifications, and costly lift delays. Fleet Rabbit centralizes digital inspections, load cycle tracking, and compliance documentation into one secure platform. Monitor equipment utilization, schedule proactive maintenance, and ensure every unit meets OSHA and ANSI standards before deployment. Deploy lift fleet tracking in 14 days with zero setup fees.

Boom Truck vs Crane Truck: Equipment Selection Guide
Choose the right lift equipment, track utilization, and maintain compliance with centralized fleet management
Lift Equipment Management Features That Matter
Monitor boom extensions, crane rotations, and PTO hours to schedule servicing based on actual usage.
Track assigned lift weights against manufacturer limits to prevent overloading and structural stress.
Store NCCCO licenses, medical cards, and training records with automated expiration notifications.
Deploy mobile inspection forms tailored for cylinders, wire ropes, outriggers, and boom sections.
Generate work orders automatically when cycle counts or engine hours reach manufacturer thresholds.
Calculate fuel, labor, and maintenance expenses per job to identify unprofitable contracts or routes.
Track location, availability, and assignment status across multiple yards or project sites in real time.
Export tamper proof inspection logs and certification records for OSHA, ANSI, and municipal audits.
Common Lift Fleet Problems and Solutions
Problem: Missed Lift Inspections
Paper checklists get lost or submitted late, creating compliance gaps and delaying critical boom repairs.
