Abstract:

A boom assembly for an excavation vehicle includes a bracket configured to couple to a turret that is rotatably mounted to a debris body. Three or more telescoping support members. A first support member of the three or more telescoping support members is pivotably coupled to the bracket, a second support member of the three or more telescoping support members supports a shoe at a distal end, and a third support member of the three or more telescoping support members is disposed at least partially between the first support member and the second support member. The boom assembly also includes a single actuator. One end of the actuator is coupled to the first support member and the other end of the actuator is coupled to the second support member. The actuator is configured to extend and retract the second support member relative to the first support member.
