HLA Attachments BPHA240BO500 Hydraulic Telescopic Boom Pole is a heavy-duty material-handling jib designed to provide controlled reach from a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier. Its 13.5 ft main boom incorporates a hydraulically controlled 6.5 ft telescopic section, allowing the attachment to extend from a 13.5 ft closed length to a maximum open length of 20 ft. Rated to handle up to 3,000 lb when closed and 1,500 lb when extended, this boom pole provides a practical combination of lifting capacity and extended reach for moving, placing, or positioning compatible suspended loads.
The BPHA240BO500 uses HLA mounting code BO500 and requires a host machine equipped with compatible auxiliary hydraulics. Hydraulic extension lets the operator adjust the boom length without manually repositioning the telescopic section. At the working end, a pintle hook incorporates a spring-loaded locking arm and pin to help retain the load connection. The attachment weighs approximately 775 lb, making host-machine lift capacity, operating limits, hydraulic compatibility, and load position important considerations when selecting and using the boom pole.
The BPHA240 is built around a 13.5 ft main boom and a 6.5 ft hydraulic telescopic section. With the telescopic section retracted, the attachment provides its highest published rated capacity of 3,000 lb. Fully extended, it reaches an overall open length of 20 ft and has a published rated capacity of 1,500 lb. This configuration allows the operator to select additional reach when needed while retaining a higher capacity for work performed closer to the carrier.
Auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the telescopic extension. A verified flow or pressure requirement is not published for this model, so hydraulic compatibility must be confirmed for the intended host machine.
The boom terminates in a pintle end hook fitted with a spring-loaded locking arm and pin. This provides a defined connection point at the end of the boom for suitable material-handling applications. Always operate within the attachment’s stated capacity at the applicable boom position and within all lift, stability, and operating limits of the host machine.
This configured model uses the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount. HLA lists BO500 as a quick-attach mounting code across numerous skid-steer and compatible loader models. Mounting fit alone does not establish operating suitability; the carrier’s lift capacity, hydraulic system, attachment capacity, and operating limitations must all be confirmed before use.
