In all honesty, I searched the kleenrite site and didn’t see this one. Feel like some items on the site are well organized by part type, other things are clumped into brand. Just like when you do a search on the site and attempt to use the search filters. So many items are missing things like size, pressure, or brand.
Mine are actually held on by a 1/2” stainless u bolt and 1/2” bolt on bottom that goes through a I-beam. As for the motors, I built these mounts behind the metal walls to support them.
While our boom swings 180 degrees around the cars, the added boom extension & weight, inhibits its ability to naturally retract against the wall now. Customers are learning to pull the hose back and hook behind the yellow hook. I like the motor mounts you made!
Kim, where did you get the yellow hose hook?
Hi Edredrop,
Thanks Kim!Hi Edredrop,
I found the large aluminum hooks on Etsy.com, $27 each. They were made by Halderman Designs back in 2019. I had them powdercoated yellow to stand-out in the bays. The hooks work great at keeping the hoses back against the bay walls. It took some education, but I would say about 60% of our customers use them. When we originally installed the Diskin booms, they would retract back against the bay walls. But when we added the 3' SS boom extension, the boom was so heavy, it no longer retracted on its own.
Ps. I just did a search on Etsy and couldn't find Halderman Designs!
Here's a closeup of the aluminum hook from Etsy... A local welder / machinist might be able to make them for you. Please let me know if you want any measurements.Hi Edredrop,

Thanks Kim,
At my current price of 83 cents per minute, 14.3 hours is about $715 worth of time purchased.
I have meters on mine so I calculated the payback at about a year. This does not account for electricity cost, or whether the person just used time they might have used for another selection. I am count up with CC.
Can you speak to the quality of the booms that premier provides? Some of the complaints I see with Air Shammee is that the boom is not long enough and that it doesnt angle down at the tip and eventually wears out the hose.
This can be avoided with an elbow fitting.
