Ranging in size from 35 to 64 metres, Briggs four-wheel
chassis booms are efficient, tough, reliable and surprisingly versatile.
All are easy to operate, can
be folded by one person in just a few minutes for transport and
can be operated with almost any make and size of hosereel, including
the Briggs range.
Efficient
Using a Briggs
boom can reduce water consumption by 20% compared with raingun systems.
High flow rates allow
faster retraction enabling large areas to be covered in less time.
Controlled droplet size
reduces soil damage. Large droplets can be selected to reduce drift
while fine droplets can be used to minimise damage to very delicate
crops.
Reduced impact
from small droplets also reduces soil capping and soil erosion.
Low
pressure operation helps reduce pumping costs and puts less strain
on the pipeline.
Tough
Booms are fully galvanised and stainless steel
pipework is an option for corrosive liquids.
The irrigators can be
towed and operated from either end and the unique offset hose feed
keeps the hosereel pipe in the wheeling, alleviating traction problems.
Models currently available
include the R35, R50, R58 and R64 (numbers

Options
developed in conjunction with farmers around the world make the booms
highly versatile.
