DESCRIPTION
A five section 11 m to 42 m (35.9 ft to 138 ft), full power,
sequenced, and synchronized boom (Figure 4-1) is installed
on this crane.
The boom utilizes one telescope cylinder to extend and
retract Tele 1 and Tele 2, and a synchronized cable system to
extend and retract Tele and 4. The telescoping boom
sections are supported on graphite impregnated nylatron
wear pads. Side wear pads prevent metal to metal contact
between the tele sections.
Boom assembly lift is provided by one lift cylinder. Boom
elevation is from -3° to 78°.

An optional auxiliary boom nose (rooster sheave) is available
for the boom to simplify single part cable usage. The rooster
sheave is installed on the main boom nose and is secured by
pins that pass through the rooster sheave and main boom
nose.
A 10.1 m (33 ft) fixed offsetable or a 10.1 m to 17.07 m (33 ft
to 56 ft) folding offsetable swingaway boom extension is
provided to obtain additional boom reach. Optional inserts
are available for additional reach.
The bi-fold boom extension mounts directly to the boom
nose utilizing a four point attachment. In addition, the bi-fold
extension base section and/or fly section can be stowed on
the right side of the boom base section.
