2004 Terex 760B boom damage

[walker4935]

Was having a trucking company transport my rig from Tenessee to Florida and he left the boom arm up and needless to say found a bridge that was lower than the boom arm. The boom arm is trashed from the report I got. What other internal things do I need to have checked to rule out internal damage to machine. It was mint prior to this! Need some help here. Thank's!

Sounds like his insurance should be buying you a rubber tired hoe. I would expect damage in the swing cylinders too. Basically a total lose (for insurance purposes) by the time you replace everything that is or might be damaged. If you could buy back the damaged unit for say 1/3rd value I would buy it back and use as a grading/industrial tractor, ie JD-210.

Hope you like your new machine.
Depending on how fast he was going and in what direction the boom was pointing, damage would not be limited to boom components or pivot points and hydraulic cylinders. Think main frame cases.
I'll bet he doesn't do that again.

Hope he had insurance and you didn't load it for him.
