That would make a very nice edition to Midwest truck. Outfit it with Red and Blue lights as well plus a 200 watt siren and that would make a very nice rescue rig..
@@laurajackson-crockett7145 You may be surprised of the turning radius of these twin-steers.I have driven them in the oilfield applications and was surprised how they did for there length.
Would have loved to had seen it with the outriggers and such extended! Guess i will have to just to Chattanooga tn where they built that to see one like it spread out !
@@mikeford675 He's talking a load of bullshit. He doesn't operate any trucks of any description. The best i've seen from this clown is his ex Concorde pilot claims. 🤣Also comments under the name 9 car Cottrell
Second steer axel. It is for weight distribution during a heavy lift. That truck fully loaded (without towing anything) weighs just under 100,000 pounds. The winch resistance capacity is either 75 tons or 100 tons (depending on the model). With the boom fully extended, it can dead lift close to 25,000 pounds.
You do need more axles on that, its likely about 70k lbs already, and then you’d hope to tow front axle weights of at least 20k lbs, so very quickly you need almost 100k lbs worth of capacity, and thats 5 20k lb axles right there. So you def need them. And thats only if you can spread the weight to the front.
