It's a lift axel... Single tire lift axel is rated 10,000 lbs dual tire is 20,000 lbs...

That is a lovely (and useful) heavy rescue aparatus. While the slide fore and aft is a useful feature, rotation would be even more useful! 🚑

It does rotate. It's actually turned a little bit in the video.

When's he going to say he drives a tow truck?
@eriksand92625 ай бұрын
Never. Since they don’t tow anything 😎
@alansohn8554 ай бұрын
They don't have the underlift attached on it so really it's not a tow truck and never has been since it's a rotator, a separate class.

Wierd seeing a rotator without an underlift.

Nothing was mentioned about being a rotator. He did emphasize the ability to move fore/aft though...

@@n4gixThat actual truck is called a rotator and the boom does rotate. I've seen it in action before while on a trip to the county area and it is pretty impressive, but wish the main winch lines were rated for 65k lbs instead.

@kingtim415 ай бұрын
is the rig an automatic? show the cab interior
@ArmchairIC4 ай бұрын
Can't find an exact answer but likely automatic. Easier for emergency response and this doesn't typically haul anything. Just moves things into position for private tow companies to take away.

@helmut2333 As a Canadian myself I don't know nor do I know why he's reacting this way. Think it's cool they are buying NRC though I'd use a century 1150R due to less maintenance required for the sliding/rolling mechanism for the "crane" itself.
