### Q: What is the primary function of a boom head in machinery?
**A**: The boom head serves as the critical end component of a jib or boom, providing the connection point for lifting attachments or load-handling devices, ensuring secure load transfer and operational stability.

### Q: Why is high-strength steel used for boom head construction?
**A**: High-strength steel is used for its exceptional durability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to deformation under heavy loads, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of machinery and equipment manufacturing.

### Q: What maintenance is required for boom head components like wear pads?
**A**: Regular inspection and replacement of wear pads are essential to prevent metal-on-metal contact, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of both the boom head and connected attachments.
