Boom Extension
Illustration 129 g00974780
A boom extension is intended to be used in
applications when additional reach or height is
required in order to place light loads such as supports for
roofs.
Reference the correct load chart and do not exceed the
machine capacities.
Use only approved lifting equipment with a current
certificate of serviceability when you attach a load to a
boom extension. Short slings will prevent excessive load
swing.
Before you raise the load, position the lifting point on the
boom extension directly above the lifting point on the
load. Failure to follow this procedure could cause the
load to swing when the load is lifted. Personal injury or
