French term or phrase: nez de flèche

In the same brochure on a telescopic handler for construction sites or farms as the question posted a few minutes ago.

Again it is in a list of bullet points on the technical advantages. No further context available. Sorry

English translation:(tip of) the boom

Explanation:
I'm not sure whether technically it is called a 'tip' or a 'nose' but flèche is definitely "boom" or "jib" (preferably boom) in the case of a telescopic handler
