Articulating boom arm simple drop systems are built for shops with overhead cranes or high ceilings where traditional overhead systems won't work. These pivoting boom arms mount flush against the wall when not in use, then swing out over or between bays as needed, maximizing floor space and crane clearance.
With a scissoring midpoint joint, articulating boom arms deliver exceptional flexibility and extended reach, making them ideal for diesel engine repair shops handling everything from tractors to heavy mining equipment.
Hose Temps: 400° / 600°
Hose Diameters: 4 to 10 inches
Length: 10, 15, and 20 feet
Application
Articulating boom arm systems installed at Diesel Power Equipment Co., a full-service diesel engine repair facility
Diesel Power Equipment Co. operates a comprehensive diesel engine repair shop specializing in overhaul, welding, and fabrication services. Their capabilities include engine performance testing and diagnostics, hydraulic testing, fluid analysis, and complete rebuilds of cylinders, pumps, hydrostat/power-shift transmissions, and steering systems. The shop also services and repairs engines, generators, tractors, and construction and mining equipment.
Diesel Power Equipment Co. needed an exhaust removal solution that could work around their overhead jib crane while providing 25 feet of reach for maximum coverage across their large work area. The system had to effectively capture diesel exhaust, welding fumes, dust, and other hazardous airborne contaminants without interfering with crane operations or technician workflow.
Fume-A-Vent equipped the shop with articulating boom arms featuring cable balancers for effortless hose positioning and storage. The boom arms mount securely to the wall and extend up to 25 feet when deployed, providing the extended reach needed for large diesel equipment. The articulating design allows technicians to position hoses precisely where needed, then retract them completely out of the crane's path when not in use.
This configuration gives Diesel Power Equipment Co. the versatility to capture contaminants from multiple work zones while maintaining full overhead crane access, a critical requirement for handling heavy engine components and equipment.
