The 5096S boom truck from Manitex is rated at 50-ton capacity at a 6-foot radius, which is said to be a 25 percent improvement over currently produced boom trucks. Still, the 5096S meets federal bridge law weight requirements, meaning no overweight permits are required. Standard features include solid radio outrigger controls, four-section 96-foot boom, and free swing with pilot-operated controls. Estimated list price: $395,000.
