ABSTRACT:
The overall length of boom assembly can be increased by the use of a pair of boom extension sections. When the boom extension sections are not required, they are supported at storage locations adjacent to one side of a main boom assembly. When the overall length of the main boom assembly is to be increased, a first one of the boom extension sections is pivotally connected with the outer end portion of the main boom assembly and the second boom extension section is pivotally connected with the outer end portion of the first boom extension section. The two boom extension sections are swung outwardly together. After the first boom extension section has been firmly connected with the outer end portion of the main boom assembly, the second boom extension section is pivoted about the outer end portion of the first boom extension section. In order to guide movement of the second boom extension section from its storage position into engagement with the first boom extension section, a roller on the second boom extension section rolls along a track which is connected with the main boom assembly. As the second boom extension section is moved into engagement with the first boom extension section, the roller moves off the track to thereby release the second boom extension section.
