What options are available to limit boom damage from ground strikes?

Occasional ground strikes are hard to stop with large booms, Goldacres offer boom end protectors that provide protection to the front and bottom of the boom at the tips. Ultrasonic boom height leveling is also available on selected models – with this system a series of sensors, mounted on the boom, electronically control the height of the boom above the ground. This reduces the work required by the operator to maintain boom height.
