October 11, 2018 - Elmer W. Davis Inc., Rochester, N.Y., recently picked up its new 2018 Terex BT28106 boom truck from Empire Crane Company LLC in Syracuse, N.Y.  

 

The BT28106 is the 9^th Terex boom truck in Davis’ growing fleet of cranes.  

Elmer W. Davis Inc. is the largest roofing contractor in New York. Superintendent Damon Runyon said the company likes Terex machines because “they are reliable cranes with almost no downtime.”  

The BT28106 can lift up to 28 U.S. tons, has a 106’ boom, and offers a 30’-47’ jib. It offers a modular, dual control console for operation from either side of the crane, work-area definition, and high-performance hydraulics.  

Carl Benson, fleet manager, said, “The boom length and jib length fit our roofing needs, and the rapid mobility of a boom truck makes things a lot easier. We don’t have to worry about transportation or setup and takedown time.” 

The crane’s first job will be a roofing at the Wegmans Supermarket in Fairmount, N.Y.
