Zacklift Z303 FIFTHWHEELER: Using the Heavy Duty Wheel Lift

[@alkennedy1124]

No audio at all, that is real think material, and that is what it’s needs , the pivot point is the weakest part, zack puts bearings in the pivot point, kool thanks BigAl California.

[@cthunter41]

Didn't get enough wraps on the ratchet strap. The only thing holding the tension is the tail of the strap under itself. If that tail slips going down the road it will loosen the whole strap.

What a beautiful view

[@cranerigging3604]

That's a nice looking wheel lift but I'm sticking with the 750 Holmes hauling that truck .

[@drewmurphy2796]

Why? Seems to do the job just fine? Don’t need a wrecker for just towing trucks

[@cranerigging3604]

@@drewmurphy2796 That's what a wrecker was built for , haulin trucks ! The Zacklift looks like a nice unit but we already have dedicated trucks with 750 Holmes beds and a fifth wheel under them to pull trailers .

[@MrHighwayrydr]

How is this better than just using axle forks? Seems cumbersome and awkward. Not to mention high torque on the underlift crossbar caused by lifting behind the pivot pin?

[@lindsaywood1129]

no joke!

[@alkennedy1124]

My Zack lift , spread the pivot point out and broke the pivot bolt, I was using frame forks , they were just a few inches behind the pivot of the cross Barr, so all I. Can. See is a lot of spreading and Breaking of the pivot saddle and bolt pins, kool thanks BigAl California.

I have had 2 zacklifts... love them....but l arms are to be used in my opinion on motor homes.....any truck.. should use forks... just safer in my opinion

[@josephdeffendoll3056]

the other application is very involved and you will need them to install it lots of drilling and hoses and wiring, cutting,welding.its not one you would want to put on and remove at all.more of a permanent application. they need to specify this. but if all you do is repo,and tow it's rock solid.

[@silentepsilon888]

I am confused, why did the operator move the entire 'tow' truck back instead of simply extending the arm to reach the front wheels of the 'dead' truck? It is extendable and seems to have enough reach to get there.

[@oilfieldtrucker4868]

The further he scopes out the less he can pick up

[@oilfieldtrucker4868]

I was wrong

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

@@oilfieldtrucker4868 the leverage increase when he extended the underlift didn't seem to lift the front of his truck, must be a light lift on the front axle of that dump truck (empty I guess).

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

Perhaps alignment and/or habit.

[@3000gtvr2]

too see if the truck air brakes did release and truck rolls

[@andyn5714]

So where did he get the Yellow bars from for the wheels. They were not on the truck showing where to store them going to get the recovery. Or are they in another truck.?

What is the price shiped to South Africa thank you

[@johnsmithy9304]

Kind of reminds me of a Chaplin film. I can't imagine the MFG cost of that being low. The pin or bolt through the back is a weak point over time and use.. I would mount a hydraulic lift to the back with 100 ton winch lots of operators need to get trucks out of bad spots it's a good idea but only for a truck that is accessible not stuck. The military had a severe duty tow truck that had it mostly right it could lift a tank. But 5 gallons per hour got to love tax dollars at work

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

The truck is probably too light to pull out anything stuck bad, it won't anchor without weight. Also where would he store the chains needed for recovery work?

So what happens if you have an air leak and don't know it and your brake knobs pop out bc of low air pressure and your tandem's lock up ?

[@yazeed3881]

You drive a bolt through air chamber which will release mechanically

[@kaytlynkey3852]

you run air or uncage the brake chambers

[@alvaradotowing23]

heavy duty wheel lifts take to long to hookup, and you got to be directly in front of the truck you're hooking, I do heavy towing in Chicago, most trucks are in alleys or docks under a building, but I guess it works for most people, just not for me.

In my opinion, You either need to be a Truck owner or a Wrecker owner. Seems difficult and cost prohibitive to do both

[@dandunning4409]

David Norris 100 % agreed. If I call a heavy wrecker that better be what shows up. This shows up and I'm sending him packing empty.

[@redraiderrider3289]

I hope you are kidding. You are obviously a know nothing chump. These are what make money safely these days. Wreckers are like buying timeshares.

[@danokerr9929]

@@dandunning4409 I work for a outfit that has a lot of newer trucks breaking down. The thought of this machine is a good idea. Saves a lot of money from calling a wrecker. Would be cost effective after 15 break downs

[@danokerr9929]

@@redraiderrider3289 plus if you have a wrecker it costs a lot more money for insurance rather than just running a truck out there to grab the truck

[@dandunning4409]

@@danokerr9929 That does not make it safe!

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

Amazing machine... but for $32,000 USD, you need to a LOT of break downs to justify a removable fifth wheel wheel lift. If im not mistaken this isnt meant to be a permanent unit. In that case, you can get a "tow your own" for roughly $6000 new. Seems more feasible. As for a permanent unit... $32K is a great price.

[@tinahiheels]

would be nice if there was sound

[@robertesposito9871]

Of course you would be a truck owner or a tow truck company, why else would you need that

[@misconceptionindustries2968]

Y not fork it? Its easier an safer? Bus bars are for motorhomes and buses where its low an nothing to fork!

[@CosgroveNotts]

making Merica great again

[@bandit4817]

Looks like a good product, your demonstration is extremely bad as the operator seemed to have no idea how to operate the lift. There is no sound plus how do you tow if the engine is inoperable because there would be no air supply.

[@McGillicutty88]

bandit4817 Cage the brake chambers.

[@wgkaiser]

+bandit4817 Or hook up a jumper air hose like heavy wreckers do when pulling loaded rigs.
