Reply:Anybody recommend a resoivior/tank size could not get out of old body came from was part of the ub.
Reply:What's the measurements of the ram?  I would take that volume and at least double it.  More fluid is always better from a cooling standpoint.
Reply:If it doesn't have a reservoir I would probably just throw it away. I am such a nice guy I would get ride of it for you and you wouldn't have to do anything with it. Just let me know when you want it out of you way. I would hate for you to trip over it. I am just thinking of you and your safety.

Reply:I like it, I wish my AutoCrane had power outriggers, cranking sucks.
Reply:Originally Posted by chevyrigIm not sure what kind of truck/body your puting this on but i mount these were i work.Make sure you build up the box or tie it into truck frame really well. Ive seen some people just throw them on a side box and just weld a 3/8 plate on the top and a few square tube supports and mangle a nice tuck. Im not in no way implying you dont know what your doing just trying to give u a tip or heads up. The bodies we use at work have a heavy duty under body set up. Have fun with it they are really useful for just about every thing. and looks like u got a good one. we mount liftmore cranes from the little pick up ones to the big international service trucks.
Reply:Originally Posted by admsweldingHere is a pic of the truck its being mounted to.When I built this deck the 4" channel cross braces changed from the front of the rear tire back from 16"o/c  5.4lb/ft channel to 6"o/c 7.25lb/ft channel.Think I be ok?There is a 1/2"plate on p-side rear corner 21"x24" I,m building my mount box onto of that.

Reply:Couple of pics of it all mounted and running. Attached ImagesYour rig looks good If you made the platform the bottles sit on slide up and. down         maybe with pipe inside of pipe with a spring loaded latch to hold it up you can use the crane hook to raise and lower the platform to the ground. To roll bottles on and off. Might not be worth the work if you carry the small oxygen I carry two large 250 oxygen there a little more awkward.
