Wrecker Boom Questions

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Can anyone tell me the Max. lifting Capacity of the boom on a M816 5Ton Wrecker? Also does it have only one boom that extends out or two? What is the length of the boom when it is fully extended?

Thanks

Take a look at TM 9-2320-260-10, it covers the basics.

Loaded question! With the shipper all the way retracted and boom supports on the ground, 20,000# IIRC. It goes down from there. All these details are in the TM

yes to the loaded part.. it all depends if you want to rotate or just lift.. 20k is the max but its just a up and down thing. what are you tring to pick up.. ??
