  • Patent number: 10710848
    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a wearpad for a telescopic boom assembly including a first surface for contacting an outer boom of the boom assembly, a second surface for contacting an inner boom of the boom assembly, and a length, where the first surface and the second surface extend along the length, and where the length extends along a longitudinal direction. A chamfered portion of the wearpad may have a first end at a first location along the length and a second end at a second location along the length. The first surface and the second surface may converge along the chamfered portion. Thus, a first distance between the first surface and the second surface at the first end of the chamfered portion may be greater than a second distance between the first surface and the second surface at the second end of the chamfered portion.
