This innovative tool has a hydraulic controlled boom so you can set glass in place for glazing in difficult to reach positions. Used in conjunction with a vacuum lifting frame (not included), the Hydraulic Boom Manipulator simplifies glass handling anywhere you use it. The boom can also be reversed, which extends the unit's reach. It is easily assembled without tools in only five minutes. You can knock down the unit and move it from floor to floor to glaze high-rise buildings from the inside. Simply lower the glass into position from one floor above using the standard manual winch. Put it in a pickup or van and move it from job to job. Electric Winch options are also available. The optional pair of movable ballast boxes keep it steady even under the maximum load of 1,000 lbs. (453 kg).
