The Briggs R46 booms deliver exceptional irrigation uniformity with closely spaced nozzles and a low trajectory spray, achieving around 90% uniformity—even in windy conditions. Their design controls droplet size effectively, reducing soil capping or slumping risks compared to traditional rainguns.
With a variety of pressure regulators and nozzle types, Briggs booms allow precise droplet size selection tailored to each crop’s needs. Operating at significantly lower pressures than rainguns, these booms offer reduced energy consumption and cost savings.
Engineered for convenience, the R46 booms wrap neatly around the hose reel drum for effortless field-to-field transport. Available in sizes ranging from 18m up to 76m—and capable of irrigating up to 96m in one setup—these booms combine robust UK manufacturing since 1992 with ease of use. Whether mounted on a four-wheel or compact three-wheel chassis, even the largest booms can be extended or packed away by a single operator in minutes.
Trusted globally by farmers, growers, and groundsmen, Briggs booms are tough, reliable, and versatile irrigation solutions designed to meet the demands of modern agriculture.
Features
- Uniformity - Closely spaced nozzles + low trajectory = 90% uniformity (even in quite windy conditions)
- Soil benefits - Controlling droplet size reduces the risk of soil capping or 'slumping', compared with a raingun
- Optimum droplet size - A wide range of pressure regulators and nozzle types allow the optimum droplet size to be selected for each type of crop
- Lower energy requirement - Booms operate at pressures ranging from less than half that recommended for rainguns. Lower pressure = reduced energy costs
- Easy to move, quick to open and close - The R46 range of booms wrap around the drum of the hosereel for easy transportation from field to field
