5 ton wrecker bed

[Heavywrecker]

Not bad actually seems normal! I'll have to post a video once I get it all done

Got the side puller attached today, going to modify the winch location a little bit and the. It's onto modifying the legs on the side puller and onto the rearend

Just the lathe was built for the war, the Bridgeport is an 80's model

Anyone have a pic of all the warning and rating plates on the control station?

Adding some new stabilizers to the side puller to make setup easier!

I'll be out at the m816 this weekend and can take pics of the rating plates on the crane.

Interesting setup on the outriggers, gives me some ideas when mine gets upgraded to hydraulic. Any pics of your valve bank mounted on the bed?

I'm going to make a reinforcement collar around the end of the receiver and make it so you can't pull them out accidentally. Also have to add adjustment pins, was thinking about using cam locks but I want to be able to pull on the leg at the shackle and don't want it breaking the cam lock, it's probably going to get a 1-1/4 pin threw it

Cam locks are nice but agreed, for a side load a pin is better.

What all will be controlled by the valve banks at the rear of the truck?

The underlift, (tilt, up/down, and in/out) side puller winchs in and out, front stabilizers up and down, and rear stabilizers up and down

What's a guy have to do to get the winding pulley on the drag winch to pivot? She's seized up

You know what I find funny is that table is for two part line, I have seen hundreds of military wreckers and haven't seen one rigged two part they have all been 3 part.

Interesting, mine is setup as 3 part also. Not changing the setup on mine because the cable is old and could use replacement soon.

No wonder we have seen bent booms they are setup to lift 60,000 lbs! Thinking of single or double line mine

Breaking strength on the stock 6x19 fiber core cable is 20-22k pounds. Working load is lower figuring either a 3, 4, or 5 :1 WLL. I'm going to synthetic on mine (yes it's approved for cranes, even available direct from the manufacturer with synthetic for the past few years) with a breaking strength of 27k.
