LESS THAN 3M TRANSPORTATION WIDTH WITOUT REMOVING BOOM SECTIONS
Ranging in structural width from 35 to 52 metres, Briggs four-wheel chassis COMPACT booms are efficient, tough, reliable and surprisingly versatile. Over 2000 4 wheel-chassis booms are in operation throughout the world.
Irrigated widths are from 35 to 72m depending on the choice of nozzle or sprinkler mounted on each end of the boom.
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.
Used in two different ways:
1. To irrigate an area that cannot be reached with the sprayjets or rotators and then manually divert the water back to the boom for the remainder of the irrigation run.
2. To allow the operator to use a raingun for the whole run or part of a run – if there is an obstacle in the way or a narrow part of the field to irrigate.
Essential for tall crops such as maize.
Hydraulic lift systems are available in two versions.
This system allows the operator to open the boom at a low, manageable height and then hydraulically lift the boom. The ‘high lift’ system has three lift heights – 1.9m, 2.4m and 3.1m allowing enough tolerance between the crop and the boom as the crop height increases. It also reduces the prospect of damage to the boom from contact with the crop.
. This is essential for tall crops such as maize.
