Spray Application GROWNOTES™: Boom stability - rigid boom centres

And what I want to show you on this boom spray is what we call a rigid or fixed boom center. It has no pendulum or trapeze. So there's this point here, got a bar across the top down to there, and there's no pivot point in here, so it's a rigid boom section. Where others will have what we call a pendulum, they'll have a pivot point there. Other magnet factors have a strap down here, what we call a trapeze boom. The reason this is important, we want to isolate the impact of the tyre on the boom. So when you have a rigid section like that, you've got to have a very good tyre system and suspension system to stop having an impact on the boom wing.
