At McQuaid Engineering Ltd we offer a complete boom system

package to our customers. Along with our Rock Breaker Boom,

we can also supply the Hydraulic Breaker, Hydraulic Power Pack,

Operating Controls, Supporting Steelwork and Full Installation.

Hydraulic Breakers

We can source and supply any brand or model of hydraulic

breaker that the customer wishes. It is also possible to use an

existing breaker. If the customer wishes to procure their own

breaker or use an existing one, a custom made breaker bracket

will be manufactured and dispatched with the boom and the

hydraulic circuit will be appropriately adjusted to ensure optimum

performance.

Hydraulic Power Unit

As standard, all MQ boom systems destined for static

applications are supplied with a high specification hydraulic

power unit. The unit comprises a high efficiency electric motor, a

large displacement hydraulic pump and a high capacity reservoir.

An oil heater and oil cooler are also offered dependent on

environment conditions.

Operating Controls

We offer a range of manual and remote proportional control

options for operating the MQ boom system. The manual

controls can be mounted on the base of the machine or

mounted on an independent stand. Either radio remote or

umbilical cable remote control options are also offered and

come complete with a compact lightweight yet robust hand unit.

Design Service

To assist the customer in choosing the correct boom system our

engineers will create 3D installation drawings showing steelwork

required and showing the full movement parameters of the boom

including movement within the jaw, feeder and hopper.
