Boom Restraint
The boom must be stowed in the boom rack before transporting the crane.
The boom extend sections should be restrained to prevent gradual roll-out when
transporting the crane on a semitrailer. The hydraulic system will not hold the sections
against the hard breaking jolts while the crane is being transported.
Restrain the boom extend sections by snugging the hook block against the boom head, or
secure the boom head back to the base section of the boom with chains or cable. An
extended(ing) boom can cause substantial damage.
