[Crazy_Jimmy]

If anyone knows of one for (no dealers) sale please let me know they are hard to find . One with a short wheelbase.

 

[tristateforestry]

got a nice 2010 international for you

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

Thanks but I think I found one.

Where did you find yours jimmy? I'm looking to sell my old forestry body and go with a rear mount elevator too I hope =)

 

[tristateforestry]

hey evan, what are you looking for ? any particular boom or truck makes

 

[TheArborMan]

Looking for a diesel, pre emissions if possible. Would like a short chassis, rear mount, 4x4 would be a bonus but doesn't have to have it. I like our current hi-ranger boom, would be happy to have another. Would go with a elevator if it is possible to keep it under cdl?

 

[craneguy1]

Cdl required for elevator...much heavier.

 

[Menchhofer]

Altec rear mounts w/elevator are under CDL.

Must be really light trucks......feva had told me the elevator alone on our terex high ranger weighs 3 tons. You can feel it for sure.

I have a buddy in town that has a rear mount if anyone is interested pm me. I dont really know much about it other than its an altec 60' working height and I think he wants mid 30s.

Find that really hard to believe...not pretending to know everything....but never heard of a 75' w.h. under 26,001 pounds.

My Altec rear mount 75' elevator weighed over 27,000 with no tool boxes or tools. Bare bones.

Altec did make a number of elevator units on under CDL trucks. They will not do it any longer that I am aware of. They mounted them on derated chassis. This means the combination of the two axles is higher than the total reported GVW of the truck. I have never weighed the one we have so cannot report on that, but it is technically below CDL GVW.

 

[craneguy1]

Interesting. If thats the case...then you would get an overweight ticket if dot pulled you over and weighed the truck. Thats dumb. 33 and 1/3 cents a pound for every pound over. Or if you plated it for the weight the truck really weighed, wouldn't they ask why the driver didn't have a class b cdl? Seems to me you would get some violation or even a red tag if the truck weighed more than the gvw stated it should...derated, cheater or what not. Bogus idea.

 

[tristateforestry]

i have several rear mounts, 4x4 and under cdl possible, impossible to be 4x4 and under cdl with a elevator

I know, I bought one. You know also. You just bought mine and weight rating is under 26,000. 25550 I believe. And no, it is not cheating. Some people just do not know what they are talking about.
