Abstract

Wear pad assembly for an extendable boom having a first boom section and a second boom section. The wear pad assembly comprises an anchor for mounting to the first boom section. The anchor comprises a pin extending between a first end and a second end along a longitudinal axis. The anchor further comprises a connecting portion extending outwardly from the first end of the pin in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the connecting portion comprising a connecting aperture. The wear pad assembly further comprises a wear pad having a thickness extending between a coupling surface and an opposing sliding surface, the coupling surface comprising a recess for engagement with the pin of the anchor (30). The wear pad assembly comprises an adjuster for adjusting the position of the wear pad along the pin in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, the adjuster having a contact end that is inserted through the connecting aperture and contacts the coupling surface of the wear pad.
