Boom assembly
An assembly comprising a boom 14 with an actuator attachment point (50, fig.2) and a bifurcated portion 26 comprising two legs 27, 28 extending between the actuator attachment point and a lower end (22, fig.5), connected to a mount 12 about a mount-boom pivot (24, fig.4). A linear actuator 16 is pivotally connected to the mount about a mount-actuator pivot 25 and is pivotably connected to the boom at the actuator attachment point. The linear actuator is connected between the boom and the mount in a plane normal to an axis of rotation of the boom about the mount-actuator pivot, wherein the plane extends between the two legs of the boom. Bifurcation provides space to mount the linear actuator and may increase a movement arc of the boom. Mounting the actuator between the bifurcated legs reduces torsional forces.
