With a compaction ratio of 5:1 this proven boom can be quickly and easily deployed in a wide variety of situations, automatically expanding to their full continuous cylindrical shape to operate and breathe at atmospheric pressure. Recovery and compaction is easy, assisted by the built-in compaction rope running the full length of the boom.
