Kenworth 8x8 PLS Videos
I found a new way to haul my rock crawler around this weekend. The PLS makes it easy.

Like it! Surprised at the steep angle of the deck though, almost 45° from the looks of it.
You know Joel, with our pipeline beds (roller in the rear) and HIABs we could do almost the same thing.

No, there are 2 seperate valves to operate in the cab. The current Oshkosh design does have automatic sequencing, but this Kenworth does not.

Yes, very steep! A good test on your load tie downs for sure. With the 20' flatrack, the steep angle is required due to the bed height of about 6'. As pictured, the load is only about 10,000#. The hook lift system is rated for 36,000#.

You still would have to find one even if money wasn't a concern. Its a prototype deal IIRC.
Thanks for the vids M1075. What happened to a website? I've searched old threads of yours and looks like there were plenty of interesting pictures there.

Yep, these Kenworths were prototypes. I think 8 were made for evaluation by the Army. I purchased this one from an oilfield servicing company after the oil prices tanked last year.
With regard to my old website ( www.m1075.com) I just let it finally expire. I still have the all the pictures on my computer.
