Page 4: Presentation
Pivoting Extension Boom 3 PRESENTATION Pivoting extension pivot swing booms are designed to extend the working area of local extraction devices. They make it possible to reach areas where impurities are being created with, for example, a self-supporting arm, flexible hoses, hose reels etc. Due to a wide range of reaches, the booms are especially useful for the extraction of dust or gas impurities from difficult to reach areas. Additionally the booms can be used to suspend other equipment such as welding wire feeders, hose reels etc. within the range of permissible loads. 3.1 Each MAXIREACH unit includes: • Boom base with wall/column support plates. • Horizontal painted steel tube(s) support. • Spiral ducting and flexible hose connections with hose clamps. • Companion flanges for fan or exhaust duct system. • Pull rod for purpose of boom to be level. • Friction disks with tension adjustment (on boom base pivot only). • Middle pivot (for double action swing boom). • 3 steps paint finish: degreasing, prime coat and polyurethane final coat. -
