  • Patent number: 4427154
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a boom suspension and lift assembly which is mounted to extend laterally from a vehicle for agricultural spraying purposes. The boom assembly comprises a main frame mounted on the vehicle and at least one boom pivotally mounted on the main frame. A suspension system between each boom and the main frame independently absorbs boom motion resulting from vehicle travel over uneven terrain. A boom lifting system is provided to selectively lift each boom relative to the main frame by pivoting the boom about a longitudinal axis adjacent the main frame. For transport or storage, each boom is foldable against a side of the vehicle.
