In an earlier post, I showed the construction of a portable lifting frame for my chain hoist.
Today’s job: Lift the 13′ dump bed back onto the truck. I don’t know
the weight on this bed, but even with it’s dual 10 ton hydraulic rams
and 6″ channel frame it must be less than 3 tons because that’s all my
chain-fall is rated for. ;)
Frame Assembly (it all just slides together)
- Stakes in front of the feet
- Upper chain and chain-fall ready
- Rope attached to top of frame and truck
Lifting the Frame Into Place
Turn the Feet 90 Degrees to Stabilize (and chase Orville out from his shady spot under the bed)
Enjoy!
