Hog Arm
The 5 Axis Hog Arm provides a 12 foot side to side
working radius for the blasting Heads. The opera-
tor also has the ability to change the orientation
of the blasting heads during operation from inside
the cab. Using the Joystick controls, the blasting
heads can be hydraulically rotated to operate in
tandem, parallel or any configuration in between.
The 5 Axis Hog Arm system improves productivity
by providing adjustment during blasting opera -
tions and enabling the simultaneous removal of
parallel markings in the side by side (parallel)
configuration or rapid removal of single continu -
ous lines with the blasting heads in the tandem
configuration.

Arm Safety T-Handle Pin In Locked Position & Storage Port
A manual T-handle pin lock system is utilized to
secure the arm and blasting heads in the full up
position for safety during travel. There is one lock
pin for the main arm and one for the blasting
heads. Special storage ports next to each lock
provide secure storage for the pins when they
are removed during blasting operations. The lock
pins are a safety feature that prevent the arm
from drifting downward or the blasting heads
from rotating while the vehicle is in Drive Mode.
The operator must remove the arm lock pin be-
fore it can be lowered and the blasting head pin
before the heads can be rotated. Make sure the
truck is stopped with the parking brake set and
the hydraulic system activated before manually
removing the arm lock pin.
