New Holland extended the versatility of its crawler dozers by fitting them for pipelaying with an optional 15-foot hydraulic sideboom. Initially available on the 19,000- pound D85B and 20,000-pound D95B dozers, the attachment offers a lift capacity of 20,000 pounds. The sideboom folds and two 1,120-pound extendable counterweight segments can be easily removed for transportation.Three control levers give the operator simultaneous control of load and boom functions.
