That's a right solid pedestal, and that tube steel in the frame looks serious; is that 1/2" wall?

I wonder what that stuff weighs per foot; like 10-12 lbs?

There are two 5x5x3/8 main tubes and lots of 3/8 Chanel one is 30 " long in the crane side horizontal it will be welded to a 1/4 plate 30x12 with 8 3/4 grade 8 through the frame , the passenger side will have 4 bolts through the 3/8 x 3 angle

That rig will get some work done; sweet. :jumpin:[thumbzup]


For a minute there I thought you also had a scissors lift on the bed, but I see it's just a low riding trailer.

Nice set up!

Really jealous now.

Just found out this morning that my crane won't unload the T-case in a can that GL put in the bed for me. The winch will pick it up fine but the brake won't hold it. Looks like I'll have to remove the 30~ bolts and unload the top and bottom separately. Sigh...I just put those bolts back in and sealed it back up.

I did pick up those 24v hydraulic power packs. I have yet to spec them out to see if they'll run a crane though. If they will, then the box will be mounted in the spare tire rack. Given all the wires and what I think are a couple of coils on the valves, I think they will run multiple functions. Not to fluent on fancy hydraulics so will leave that to the expert to figure it out. :mrgreen:

I bought one of those (without the box). I think that is a double acting valve, forward and reverse.

It's not that bad at least you have all the wiring I had to figure mine out 12 volt solenoids 24v solenoids 24v pump all working together without backfeeding the 12v stuff , call me anytime if you got questions now to set the flow rates and pressures
