Unsupported Boom Arm
GT-32-F
The unsupported boom arm is an excellent alternative for
variable reach applications, especially in larger sizes where the outboard
components are relatively heavy. It can be modified for closed system loading
and unloading, and is available in various design configurations to meet
the needs of virtually any installation.
This popular style loader is designed
for those installations where it is undesirable or impractical to mount a
supported boom arm. For example, many railcar sites have no support columns
or overhead structures to which a supported boom can be attached.
The unsupported
boom arm offers the same advantages as the supported boom arm, but maximum
reach is somewhat less. It provides good flexibility for mis-spotting, and
can be folded back against the rack for convenient, compact storage. When
necessary, increasing the size of the base joint, or using a heavy-duty split
flange swivel at the inlet, can extend total reach.
