Abstract
A new boom rest has a cylindrical roller with a V-shaped groove cut into it such that the boom rests at least partially in the groove. The roller is rotatable and made of a self-lubricating resilient non-metallic material. The rotation and the V-shape allow the boom to self-locate onto the roller. The material of the roller and self-locating prevent damage and wear on the roller and the boom. The roller is rotatably mounted on a support structure that is attachable to vehicles that carry booms.
