Boom Trucks
Pedestal top plates, turrets, and jib boom weldments for boom truck OEMs.
Boom truck work here is production welding first — then assembly, then machining — on pedestals, turret weldments, jib boom weldments, and man-basket/arm assemblies in Fort Worth and DFW. We quote repeating OEM programs, not one-off job-shop work.
Boom truck weldments
Production boom truck weldments with formed base flanges — structural brackets from a repeating OEM run.
Pedestal Top Plates
Machined Pedestal Top Plates with bolt patterns — milling that locates a boom truck weldment on a production run.
Turret Weldment
Turret Weldment — structural steel for a boom truck rotation interface, welded for a repeating OEM program.
Man-Basket with Arm
Assembled Man-Basket with Arm — weldment fit-up and production assembly proof for boom and aerial OEM programs.
Jib Boom Weldment
Jib Boom Weldment — production welding on a boom extension structure for an OEM program.
Production welding for boom and aerial OEMs
Boom truck fabrication at Kannon is steel work: production welding, then assembly, then the machining that locates the weldment. Pedestals, turrets, jib booms, and personnel-basket assemblies run on the same Fort Worth floor. Buyers see weld qualifications, bay and robot counts, and inspection before a plant visit — the same evidence used to qualify a repeating production welding partner for boom and aerial OEM programs.
Pedestal top plates, turrets, and jib boom weldments
RFQs we can run look like milled interface plates, turret weldments, jib boom weldments, and other structural subassemblies — cut, formed, welded, and machined in-house. Those photos sit on this page and on the work gallery as OEM weldment proof.
Man-basket and arm assembly on the same floor
The Man-Basket with Arm photo is assembly proof: weldment fit-up and a finished personnel-basket/arm build from the same shops that weld the turret and jib. Boom truck manufacturing here is partnership work, not a one-off job shop. The first weldment sets the fixture, weld, and inspection sequence so the next units run the same way for Dallas–Fort Worth and national OEM releases.
What to send in a boom truck RFQ
Drawings or a model, material and weld spec, annual or release volume, and the date the first units have to ship. Call out fixture or inspection requirements if they are already set. Structural steel programs are quoted against AWS D1.1, D1.3, 80K, and 100K where those apply. Fort Worth capacity is 30 manual MIG/TIG bays and 3 OTC welding robots (including a 16 ft slider). We will tell you if the work fits the floor.
Welding, assembly, fabrication, and boom truck proof
Production welding
Robotic and manual welding is the primary capacity behind boom truck OEM weldments — 30 manual MIG/TIG bays and 3 OTC welding robots (including a 16 ft slider).

Qualifying a long-term production welding partner before a boom truck OEM program is awarded
Structural weld quality on pedestals, turrets, and jib boom weldments that have to repeat
Machined interfaces such as Pedestal Top Plates that have to land in the same weldment
Fit-up and assembly on man-basket/arm builds without extra vendors
How Kannon runs boom truck production welding
Welding-first boom truck fabrication: 30 manual MIG/TIG bays and 3 OTC welding robots (including a 16 ft slider)
AWS D1.1, D1.3, 80K, and 100K weld qualifications for structural steel
In-house CNC for Pedestal Top Plates, pins, bores, and machined details that feed the weldment
The first unit sets the fixture, weld, and inspection sequence so the next run matches
