It's from the tube not from base... They told me to undo the pins and replace the bushings but I want to know how hard the job is first/get the parts before I start. Seemed like a common problem.

I assume its an Elliott L60. If it is ,it is pretty common as time goes on, the bushings on the small cylinders that rotate the bucket are worn. I guess from travelling down the road the bounce adds to the wear. If it was coming from the turret, if excesive I would be concerne.\

Sway. That's side to side right?

Versus yaw or pitch?

Can you describe when you notice it the most? And at which component it seems to occour?

It is side to side. It looks like it's from the bushings or the pin cover thing that's held on by nuts and lock washers, probably the bottom plate of the two. It has to be common because the platform bushings gets lots of abused as the truck is driven. Mine is a bit excessive... too much to pass boom inspection.

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
