ABSTRACT:
A boom for a telescopic loader, is described. It is proposed that the boom be configured with a carrier arrangement having one end fastened to a frame of the loader vehicle, free to pivot, and having a second free end defined by an attaching flange. A front piece includes a mating flange configured complementary to the attaching flange and releasably secured to it. The front piece is used to engage a tool. To enlarge this modular configuration, an extension carrier is provided that includes a further mating flange and a further attaching flange. By inserting the extension carrier between the front piece and the carrier arrangement, the boom can be extended to conform to special operating requirements. Furthermore, the modular configuration permits a more flexible configuration of the carrier arrangement and the front piece and has a more favorable effect regarding manufacture, handling and transport of the carrier arrangement and the front piece. Also, the range of working can be further expanded by constructing the carrier arrangement so as to include telescoping carriers, with the outer-most carrier being provided with a flange for attachment either to the extension or to the front piece.
