Sailtec manufactures boom vangs in the same manner as hydraulic cylinders. The boom vang has a nitrogen return system and if sized properly will support the weight of the boom, eliminating the need for a topping lift.

• Tension is 5000 psi or 350 bar.
• Return force is at 500 psi or 35 bar.
• Length is pin-to-pin closed and will be adjusted to meet your EXACT REQUIREMENTS.
• Stainless cylinders available.
• Standard finish is hard coat black anodized.

Made of the same high quality materials used for Sailtec cylinders, boom vangs have heavier piston rods than cylinders. Models -17 and larger have a passage in the piston rod to permit plumbing the system pressure to the cylinder jaw, to reduce the amount of the deck hose.
