Physical Boom Stop Angles
Physical boom stops (2) serve the following purposes:
•
Assist in stopping the boom smoothly at any angle
above 59.1°
•
Assist in preventing the boom rigging from pulling the
boom back when traveling or setting loads with the
boom at any angle above 59.1°
•
Assist in moving the boom forward when lowering the
boom from any angle above 59.1°
•
Provide a physical stop at 89.9°
Physical Boom Stop Operation
•
When the boom is raised to 59.1°, the springs start to
compress (View A).
•
As the boom is raised higher, spring compression
increases to exert greater force against the boom.
•
If for any reason the boom is raised to 89.9°, the springs
fully compress to provide a physical stop (View B).
Physical Boom Stop Adjustment
The physical boom stops do not require adjustment.
LATTICE SECTION INSPECTION AND
LACING REPLACEMENT

WARNING
Collapsing Boom Hazard!
Physical boom stops must be installed for all crane
operations.

maximum operating angle.

adjusted.
