The Governor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi all, on either side passing through the chassis which supports the decking to stand on whilst operating the crane, there are two rods as shown in the picture, one either side. What is their job ? The Governor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the rods that stop the gun planks from sliding out, they've generally got a turn buckle in the end to keep them there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governor Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for the reply. The turn buckle is on the right in the photo. These "gun planks", are they similar to the planks that are stored above the rear wheels beneath the deck? The Governor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the same bit of kit, four carried on the Scammell, two across the body retained by those rods, and one along each side as you describe.

The Governor Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for that. I had some timber 13 foot long 3 inches wide, I have made two out of it, so will have to look out for some more. The Governor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
