ABSTRACT:
A horizontally rotatable and vertically elevatable power boom and a hose support system for industrial vacuum loaders and cleaners are disclosed. The boom includes a link providing increased lifting torque about the boom hinge pin and the boom assembly is designed for minimizing the head room requirements for the vacuum machine without sacrificing payload capacity. The link also permits the boom to be locked down hydraulically for traveling. The free end of the boom supports a pulley and cradle system for supporting the vacuum cleaning hose. The cradle prevents kinking and tearing of the hose by supporting the hose at different positions along the hose length at various boom heights. When the boom is raised, the cradle automatically shifts position to support the bent portion of the hose throughout the curvature of the bend.
