ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for pivoting a boom arm in a horizontal plane and for locking the boom arm in a fixed position on one side or another of a moving vehicle. The apparatus comprises a rocker arm with a locking mechanism at each end to engage and lock the boom arm in position in its fully rotated position at either side of the vehicle. The rocker arm is operatively connected to a hydraulic cylinder to pivot the rocker arm in a vertical plane to disengage the locking mechanism from the boom arm. A hydraulic motor has a rotating shaft connected to the boom arm to effect rotation of the boom arm from one side of the vehicle to the other.
