• Retrieval of the boom to the surface with subsequent disassembly of the emergency situation.

Advantages of using boom heads:

• Allow for quick retrieval of broken pump rods
• Reduce repair costs and minimize well downtime
• Reliable in operation, providing a firm grip on the broken rod
• Easy to use and suitable for a variety of operating conditions
