HLA Attachments BP120BO500 Telescopic Boom Pole is a standard, manually adjustable material-handling attachment that provides up to 10 ft of boom length without requiring hydraulic connections. Built around the HLA BP120 boom pole and equipped with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface, it combines a 6 ft main boom with a 4 ft telescopic section. The boom is rated to handle up to 3,000 lb when closed and 1,500 lb when fully extended, making it a practical option for lifting and positioning suitable loads while extending the working reach of a compatible tractor loader or skid steer.
The BP120BO500 uses a manually activated telescopic design, so no auxiliary hydraulic circuit is required. Its 4 ft telescopic section adjusts through five positions, allowing the operator to select an appropriate boom length for the task. The attachment measures 6 ft in its closed position and extends to a maximum length of 10 ft.
This adjustable configuration provides flexibility when a load must be handled closer to the carrier for greater rated capacity or farther forward for additional reach. When the boom is fully closed, it has a rated capacity of 3,000 lb. At full extension, its rated capacity is 1,500 lb. The capacity of the host loader or skid steer must also be considered before use.
The end of the boom is fitted with a pintle hook featuring a spring-loaded locking arm and pin. This purpose-built end connection helps retain an appropriate lifting connection at the tip of the boom. Its straightforward mechanical design complements the manually telescoping boom and eliminates the need for hydraulic controls or hoses.
The BP120BO500 is configured with HLA Attachments’ BO500 quick-attach interface for universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carriers. The manufacturer lists BO500 as the mounting interface for various compatible tractor-loader and skid-steer carriers.
Quick-attach dimensions, carrier fit, operating capacity, and loader performance must be confirmed for the specific host machine. The attachment’s rated boom capacity does not increase the lifting capability of the tractor loader or skid steer. Actual allowable loads are limited by the lowest-rated component in the complete carrier, attachment, and load-handling setup.
A compatible tractor loader or skid steer must have a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier that fits the BO500 interface. No hydraulic service is required because telescopic adjustment is performed manually. Before operation, confirm that the host machine has sufficient capacity for the approximately 370 lb attachment plus the intended load at the selected boom position.
