Designed & Tested to ISO8643
Our Supplier Partner Eaton Describes in Depth how BoomLoc Valves
can be Applied to Numerous Different Machines
Eaton Article: The requirement for hose rupture protection on mobile plant is enshrined in law in many territories and likely to become so in many others. ISO8643 requires that, in the event of a hose failure while lowering a boom it should not accelerate to more than twice its original speed with the control lever held in the same position. Additionally the valves introduced to achieve this should not unduly effect the operation of the machine to which they are fitted. (The current 100% maximum increase may be reduced to 75% in the future). If a hose were to fail while a boom is lifting or static the load should be held in position. Eaton has developed a range of hose rupture valves, designated “BoomLoc”, that are designed to meet the stipulations of ISO8643 and can be applied to numerous different machines.
