Boom Takes The Kinks Out Of Welding Cables
A new welding boom from Iron Bull keeps welding cables off the floor. The 9-ft. long boom is mounted to a post made from schedule 40 steel pipe that is secured to the floor on a rotating base. Controls on the wire feed mounted at the end of the boom are always in reach, even when the boom is raised to its full 7-ft. height.
“We built the first ones for our shop, and they have really helped out our business making loader hoppers and tractor canopies,” says Emanuel King, Iron Bull (Vol. 41, No. 1). “The boom keeps welding cables and gas lines from kinking and swings 180 degrees when mounted against a wall or 360 degrees when mounted in a central area.”
A bracket on the post holds a gas cylinder that rotates with the boom. A wire spool holder near the end of the boom holds a supply of wire. A hose or cable saddle attached to the boom provides a handy place for welding guns and torches not in use.
King says the company ran an ad this past summer to test market interest. The response was encouraging, he adds. Plans are to build some to sell this winter as demand for the company’s loader hoppers is usually lighter then.
The Iron Bull welding booms were designed for Miller welders and wire feeds. King notes that the carriers for the power source and the wire feeds can be easily customized for other brands and sizes. Contact the company for pricing.
