Upper ball slide for Terex RT-130

The upper ball slide, part number 214118, serves as a guide within the telescopic boom system of the Terex RT-130 crane. It supports the upper boom segments, allowing them to move smoothly relative to one another during extension and retraction cycles. By maintaining the alignment of the boom sections, this component helps distribute loads across the assembly while the crane is in operation.

This component is specifically compatible with the Terex RT-130 rough-terrain crane. It is installed within the boom structure where it manages the contact between sliding surfaces. The design of the slide is intended to minimize friction during the movement of the telescopic sections.

In telescopic boom systems, slide components are used to manage the interface between nested boom sections. They ensure that the segments remain aligned and move along their intended path without metal-to-metal contact. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of these slides are necessary to ensure the boom functions according to its design specifications.
