HotBed Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 hi andy, i think we did shake hands, just before the heavens opened up (again) thanks for the compliment regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 What is the function of the large support brackets bolted on the front of the vehicle ? The rear body is a bit high :shake:? , I m guessing to clear a winch mounted on the frame , seems it would severely limit the trucks use especially crossing slopes .:shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear body is a bit high :shake:? , I m guessing to clear a winch mounted on the frame , seems it would severely limit the trucks use especially crossing slopes .:shocked: hi abn deuce, the lorry is a REME 3 ton light recovery, it has a gantry crane, (the metal beam poking out through the canvas), this slides out the back and is used for suspended towing of vehicles and changing engines, one ex REME guy said he has moved 2 500llb bombs with the gantry :shake: underneath the floor is a 5ton winch, the tallness of body also helps as there is a workbench in the back as for being unstable i cant say as ive not been on any severe slopes regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 even this time i could t get some writing before and after the pics thats why there is a gap between the two sentances, Well done Graham, persistence pays! I don't think it is possible to mix pics and words when you upload pix as attachments, this is easier when using the Potobucket method. sorry but there's still more electrickery for you to get to grips with! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotBed Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 sorry abn deuce forgot to say that the front brackets are for putting cast iron wafer weights on to keep the front down when suspended towing :-D regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
