How do you check the boom and arm for cracks?

Clean the areas first, then inspect the welds at the boom foot, the boom-to-arm joint, the bucket linkage and the cylinder mounts. Look for paint cracking, rust streaks and oil weeping, which often mark a crack before it is visible.

Check pin and bush play by rocking the equipment with the engine off, and look for elongation at the pin bosses. A crack in a main weld is a structural repair, not a cosmetic one.

Ask us for the model, tonnage or destination you have in mind — we reply with matching units and an FOB or CIF quotation.
