No boom loader is listed for rent in Miami at the moment. In the United States this machine is usually called a telehandler, and owners of telehandlers in South Florida have not yet joined the site. A contractor can post a request for the lift, and an owner can list a telehandler at no cost during the launch. Other markets appear on the national boom loader rental page.
On condo and hotel towers they deliver blocks, drywall, glass and mechanical equipment to the floor being built, reaching over the edge of a slab. Warehouse and distribution sites inland use them for unloading trucks and setting precast panels. Roofers lift shingles, tile and materials, and renovation crews along the beach use them where a crane would be excessive.
A telehandler lifts far less at full reach than near the chassis. Give the owner the heaviest load, the height and the horizontal distance together, and ask to see the chart for the attachment you will use. Wind makes tall, light loads like glazing unstable, so many sites set a lower wind limit for these lifts.
Telehandlers need firm, level ground and extra care on sand or fresh fill. Use outrigger-style stabilizers where the machine has them, and keep the boom low while traveling. In summer the afternoon downpours soften unfinished lots, so schedule the heavy placing in the morning.
A telehandler normally arrives on a trailer, and the driver will want a clear place to unload. Walk around the machine with the owner at drop-off, check fluid levels, tire condition and the daily inspection sheet, and make sure keys, manuals and the load charts are in the cab. Fuel is typically charged to the renter, so return it in the same state as received.

A boom loader and a telehandler are one machine. Boom loader is the name used on this site, while American contractors usually say telehandler.
A rotating machine places loads without moving the chassis, which helps on a cramped site. A fixed model is cheaper to rent.
Only with an approved work platform, a trained operator and the manufacturer's permission.
That is agreed with the owner. Training for the machine type is required either way.
It depends on the owner's schedule. A written request with dates helps owners plan.
