It will be going underground in 2 weeks and I will get some video. This is our seperate placing boom test stand. We thoroughly test and inspect our placing booms and equipment prior to installation on jobsites.

I never would have thought that there was such a thing. Is there a big market for tunnels?

Sure did not look that good when it was sitting in our yard for 10 years.  Looks real sweet now!!!

Complete overhaul, disassemble completely, rebuild cylinders, rechrome rods, new hydraulic lines, new valve and inspect and repair. Just like a new boom now.
