    Bump. Anyone have great perfoming ropes in the Morgan/DownRigger? I just picked one 80 foot rope. Edit that to Nicked. Now only one end is sound for heavier pieces.

    Let’s talk about hook lift trucks

    In The Ditch makes "lumber racks" to mount behind their toolboxes but they are not full depth. I had a boat building shop weld up full depth trays/boxes to utilize that area for storage.

    Bigger trucks may not have a space issue for the hyd tank and controls but on this 5500 I wanted it up out of the way so I could put two 18in by 4 foot tool boxes on the sides. "In The Ditch" toolboxes are rated for 250lbs on the doors when open.

    Let’s talk about hook lift trucks

    I thought mounting the D-rings up off the floor about 18 inches would be good for access when I wanted to secure partial log loads. I've liked it but heaviest equipment I secure is 3k+/- Avant.

    The first picture was back of the larger can. This is side of the smaller can showing how they did strengthening for door area. Both were built heavy to take wood and log loading pretty well. 1/8 floor, 12 inch center on cross members, supposedly heavier uprights at the door end. (They may...

    Let’s talk about hook lift trucks

    I'm late in getting back to this thread to post a few thoughts. It's worth looking at different dumpster door configurations and visiting your manufacture options to see what they can and will do. The company I had build these "cans" liked this style of door lock up for strength.

    turning a cab+chassis into dump truck question

    Starting with a cab and chassis and going with OP's original thought "I can't turn a wrench", I think you could have an amazing truck built for you. I would use Oceans thoughts about pro input, have a list of everything you want it to do for you and then see how much can be incorporated in your...

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?
