FILAMENT WOUND BOOMS APPLICATIONS TECHNICAL TESTING | QC HISTORY CONTACT DISTRIBUTION BOOMS DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY Consumers rely on the most uninterrupted operation of electrical service possible. Utility companies require the proper tools to safely and quickly maintain and repair electricity distribution lines and equipment. Insulated booms on aerial lift devices help ensure the safety of linemen exposed to energized lines. Even with extensive skill and training, proper insulation is a vital part in mitigating the always-present risks of live line work. DOWNLOAD BROCHURE See Common Sizes: Standard or Metric FUNCTION IN A RANGE OF SOLUTIONS Your customer needs confidence that their employees will be safe. Fiberglass booms manufactured at Waco Boom for distribution applications are designed and tested for a minimum Category C rating per ANSI A92.2.
