Briggs Booms – R76 Low Pressure Booms

Do you know what the benefits are of irrigating with a BRIGGS Boom? Even in windy conditions, you will be able to achieve 90% uniformity. Less energy is required therefore booms can operate at around half the pressure needed for rainguns.

With a BRIGGS Boom you can control the droplet size; reducing the probability of soil damage. Large droplets can be selected to reduce drift while fine droplets can be used to minimise damage to very delicate crops – Talk about versatile!

Ranging in size from 50 to 64 metres, Briggs four-wheel chassis booms are efficient, tough, reliable and surprisingly versatile.

All are easy to operate, can be folded by one person in just a few minutes for transport and can be operated with almost any make and size of hose reel, including the Briggs range and our MARANI Hard Hose Irrigators.

Efficient systems for effective irrigation.

Developed in association with farmers, growers and groundsmen and proven around the world, Briggs Irrigation systems are kind to the crop, gentle on the ground and very easy for the operator.

Features:

There are many features that allow our range of Briggs Booms to stand out from the competitors, here are just
a few:

  •  Booms are made from steel and are fully galvanised which ensures a long life span.
  •  The irrigators can be towed and operated from either end and the option of ‘offset hose feed’ keeps the hose reel pipe in the wheeling, alleviating traction problems
  •  Semi-automatic locking catches mean that even the largest booms are genuinely one man operation with no lifting or carrying.
  •  All components are manufactured using modern technology and spares are readily available for any boom.
  •  Options developed in conjunction with farmers around the world make the booms highly versatile.
  •  All are easy to operate, can be folded by one person in just a few minutes for transport.
  •  Booms can be operated in conjunction with our range of MARANI Hard Hose Irrigators.

The BRIGGS range of mounted booms provides efficient, accurate and uniform water distribution while being extremely easy to transport and set up. The booms are transported on the hose reel and a fixed lift system is used for safe, simple, one person operation.
