Automated oil containment boom recovery device
An automated oil containment boom recovery apparatus and method is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a base frame having upward extending boom supports on which are mounted corresponding rotatable wheel and tire combinations. The wheel and tire combinations are pivotally adjustable with respect to each other as desired to accommodate the width of an oil containment boom. Hydraulic motors are provided for rotation of each axle and its corresponding wheel and tire combination. When an oil containment boom is placed lengthwise between the wheel and tire combinations, the boom is gripped between the rotating wheel and tire combinations and drawn into the recovery vessel.
