Boom Arms for Shops with Overhead Cranes
Fume-A-Vent articulating boom arm simple drop systems are built for shops with overhead cranes or high ceilings, where traditional overhead systems won’t work.
These pivoting arms mount flush against the wall when not in use, then swing out over or between bays as needed, saving floor space and keeping the crane path clear.
A scissoring midpoint joint gives them extra flexibility and reach, making them ideal for diesel engine repair shops working on everything from tractors to heavy mining equipment.

Summary
Diesel Power Equipment Co. runs a full-service diesel repair facility specializing in overhaul, welding, and fabrication for heavy equipment.
The shop handles engine performance testing and diagnostics, hydraulic testing, fluid analysis, and complete rebuilds of cylinders, pumps, transmissions, and steering systems for engines, generators, tractors, construction equipment, and mining machinery.
The Challenge
The shop needed an exhaust removal system that could reach across a large work area and capture multiple contaminants, without getting in the way of the overhead crane or the technicians.
The Solution
Fume-A-Vent installed wall-mounted articulating boom arms with cable balancers for smooth hose positioning and compact storage. The arms extend up to 25 feet, giving technicians the reach they need to service large diesel equipment.
Their articulating design lets technicians position hoses exactly where needed, then fold them completely out of the crane’s path during heavy lifts.
Why it worked
- 25-foot reach: covers large diesel equipment
- Cable balancers: smooth, easy hose positioning
- Folds flat: stores flush against the wall
- Scissoring joint: precise placement over any bay
The Outcome
Diesel Power Equipment Co. can now capture contaminants across multiple work zones while keeping full overhead crane access for moving heavy engine components safely through the facility.
Full Crane Access
Arms fold out of the crane’s path during lifts.
Multiple Work Zones
One system covers the shop’s bays.
Precise Positioning
Hoses go exactly where each job needs them.
Clear Floors
Nothing on the floor to trip over or work around.
