Hydraulic boom stops

Model Patented hydraulic / counter-luffing boom stops

Patented Seatrax hydraulic boom stops that double as a high-angle limit system, letting booms work safely above 83 degrees at close radii.

Description

Seatrax developed a patented hydraulic boom stop that also acts as a high-angle limit system, helping operators control the boom safely at angles greater than 83 degrees.

Key features

  • Automatic speed control when raising and lowering the boom at close radius
  • Work at higher boom angles, using more deck area
  • Additional kick-out that keeps the boom from becoming trapped at high angles in high winds
  • Gradual slowing of luffing as the boom approaches the stops
  • Advantages over conventional spring boom stops

Applications

Crowded deepwater platforms where longer booms must work at close radii.

Specifications

High angle controlgreater than 83 degrees
