Included in the shipment are two 15.25 m (50 ft) booms that will be mounted to Kobelco SK260 carriers by CW’s manufacturing division C.W. Machine Worx at the company’s headquarters in Ohio.
A range of other demolition high reach booms are on order and are due to be delivered shortly, including two 18.3 m (60 ft) front ends for Kobelco SK350s, a 22.9 m (75 ft) also suitable for an SK350, and 26 m (86 ft) and 28 m (92 ft) front ends that will be mounted on Kobelco SK500s. A number of long reach booms will also form part of the order.
