Abstract A lightweight, hydraulically actuated boom adapted for rapid attachment to, and detachment from, a material-handling power boom. It comprises a base plate adapted to fit and to be latched to a cooperative mounting means on the free end of the power boom. A first arm is fastened to the base plate and carries a hudraulic cylinder. A second arm is hingedly supported from the free end of the first arm, the piston of the hydraulic cylinder being fastened to the second arm.
