I saw this in a post on FB...

pretty cool idea...I wonder about building one to move pallets with ATV tires...

Looks like something my dad would have made.

As long as you carry the load low so that when a front spindle breaks it doesn't tip over you'll be fine.

Let’s talk about the power train on the crane truck. It looks like an electric motor with a angle drive gearbox for the chain?

Looks like 3 batteries, one upfront and 2 more in the center spine. Quiet and low maintenance.

It's not mine. It was posted in a FB group I follow. But it does give me some ideas...

Some of the stuff they post is pretty cool, some pretty rigged, most is purpose built.

With that much onboard power I'd be converting the engine hoist to electric over hydraulic.

Don't get me wrong, I kind of love it, but it's a machine of death off a hard, level surface.

What's the name of the group? I'd like to check it out.

Interesting, I have been toying with building an electric vehicle, this gives me some ideas.

You can’t post that without telling us the name of the group! Cmon man, give it up!

 

[why worry]

Dead yard tractor recovery service, Need to paint it olive drab and give it a M designation and it would be a hit!

 

[MushCreek]

That's a lot of weight on the front axle. Cool idea, though.

Needs a cab with a roof of solar panels.
