AMAZONE booms in an aircraft wing design

  • UF 1801 with LED individual nozzle lighting
  • Lift mast with height adjustment of approx. 0.50 to 2.20 m

“On the Amazone, the boom provides the biggest range of adjustment and quickest folding.”
(profi magazine – Practical test: "5 mounted sprayers in comparison" - 01/2013)

“The Amazone UF 1201 with its Super-S boom features the best suspension and damping.”
(profi magazine – Practical test: "5 mounted sprayers in comparison" - 01/2013)

Super-stable and, at the same time, super-light

Thanks to their special profile design, AMAZONE booms are extremely rigid and yet extremely light. The nozzle bodies with integrated diaphragm non-return anti-drip valves fit up into the boom profiles reliably preventing any dripping at the nozzle. Self-adjusting bayonet fixings ensure a tool-less quick nozzle change. The right nozzles are available for any operational use and application, e.g. optimum wetting, anti-drift or liquid fertiliser use.

3-fold shock absorbed suspension for the most arduous of operational conditions


As standard all AMAZONE booms are equipped with

  • springs and shock absorber pack for damping the vertical roll movements, 
  • rubber buffer damping elements with ball suspension to damp down the horizontal yaw movements and
  • tension springs for the shock absorbed suspension of the entire boom.

The hydraulic height adjustment and guide skids also come as standard and ensure precise longitudinal and lateral distribution of the spray agent.

Boom design to perfection

In hilly terrain and with large working widths, hydraulic tilt adjustment makes sense. The quick and precise tilting and return of the boom into the level position is possible via a tractor spool valve or via the electro-hydraulic functions in the ISOBUS terminal.

The AMAZONE Q-Plus and Super-S series booms are JKI approved. They therefore comply with the highest European demands for plant protection equipment – compare that with others!

AMAZONE booms – an idea becomes reality

Compactness matters!
The machine is easy to carry due to the low centre of gravity and its light and robust design. The front axle weight load is lower than that of many competitors.

Drive safely!
The visibility in road transport is exemplary. Anywhere the tractor can go, the sprayer, with its narrow booms, goes as well. No protruding parts, no boom damage, minimal transport width.

Everything shipshape!
The boom locates safely in the transport hooks. No rattling. No susceptible wear on the boom pivots. High road speeds are not a problem.

Clean working! 
No spray agent from the booms drips on to the tractor or the operator station and the booms also do not hit the tractor cab.

Maintenance-free and with a long service life

The decades of experience in boom design pay off: the conical hinge pin is the intelligent centre of a well thought-out boom philosophy! The boom pivot points self-adjust against any play on the conical hinge pins, thus ensuring an optimal boom function for the operator, even after many years.

The standard use of stainless steel, the use of automotive-industry standard, cathodic dip painting process and the targeted use of plastics and aluminium are the perfect guarantee of a long service life.

Exclusively from AMAZONE: All hydraulic connectors are always made from stainless steel!

Q-Plus boom – 12 – 12.5 – 15 metres

The robust, entry-level boom

With the horizontally folded Q-Plus boom in working widths of 12 m, 12.5 m and 15 m, AMAZONE offers an entry-level boom that is second to none when it comes to quality and reliability. Folding in and out is hydraulic as standard, as are the boom height adjustment and one-sided folding in the left-hand direction of travel.


The benefits:

  • Super-stable and, at the same time, super-light 
  • 3-fold shock absorption
  • Hydraulic height adjustment as standard 
  • One-sided folding on the left-hand side as standard
  • Available with hydraulic tilt adjustment
  • The central hose guidance ensures a clean and kinkfree routing of all hoses and cables

Super-S boom – The top-class boom from 15 to 24 metres

Super-S1 and S2 boom suspension

  1. Central pendulum point
  2. Spring damping system for reducing the horizontal swing movement
  3. Boom pendulum lock
  4. Spring damping system for reducing the vertical swing movement
  5. Joint orientated across the direction of travel

The 3-fold, shock-absorbed suspension, with hydraulic height adjustment and elastic boom height indicators, guides the Super-S boom safely over the crop at the right height.

The comfortable, high-end boom in working widths of up to 24 m

The vertically folding Super-S boom is available in working widths from 15 m to 24 m. Due to the layout of the boom, there are only a few pivot points, which enables a quick folding and, more importantly, a transport width of just 2.40 metres. When equipped with Profi-fold electro-hydraulic boom actuation and DistanceControl height control, operation is made so much easier.

The Super-S boom is available as the Super-S1 from 15 m to 21 m and the Super-S2 from 15 m to 24 m.


The benefits:

  • Super-stable and, at the same time, super-light 
  • Super narrow transport width of just 2.40 m
  • 3-fold shock absorption
  • Hydraulic height adjustment as standard 
  • Expandable with hydraulic tilt adjustment 
  • Expandable with end nozzle control
  • Expandable with Profi-fold electro-hydraulic boom actuation

More than just a solid core: Profiles made from high tensile steel

What has been taken away from the boom in weight has been returned in output. The clever lightweight design makes use of the material where it makes sense. For instance, aluminium is used for weight reduction in the outer boom sections of the Super-S2 boom but not in the inner boom sections. There, high tensile steel is necessary so that the boom is kept rigid and in line and so any spray errors due to movement are prevented.


The Super-S2 boom is super-robust and, at the same time, super-light

Super-S1 boom: 15 – 18 – 21 metres

Due to the layout of the boom sections, there are only a few pivot points, which allows faster folding. The well-known robust profile construction of this execution also convinces. Despite the individual sections of the Super-S1 boom being 50 centimetres longer in comparison with the Super-S2 boom, the machine height comes to just 3.30 metres.

The Super-S1 boom, in working widths of 18 and 21 metres, can be easily reduced to 15 metres by folding in the outer boom section.

  • “The transport width remains just 2.40 m – a big benefit from the vertical folding of the boom pack”


“[…] has the benefit of having one joint less making the boom, on the one hand quicker folding, and on the other hand more cost-effective.”
(dlz agrar magazine – Field test UF 1201 “Super also in small widths” · 05/2016)


“The boom is so robust and, during our use of it, the boom ride was pleasantly smooth.”
(dlz agrar magazine – Field test UF 1201 “Super also in small widths” · 05/2016)
