• A while back, I'd mentioned my interest in building a heavy rotator (tow truck) in scale. *14 IMAGES* *LINK*
  • Massive project, but the screenshots will help you realize it. Some dimensional drawings available too it seems. Boldly Go! *PIC*
    • Not a Photoshop job as they routinely do stuff like that. Typically, it’s a retired Mack DMM twin steer ready mix. *NM*
    • Looks to me like the strapping is putting a lot of pressure on the passenger side of the lift's cab and tank. Shouldn't they do as level a lift as possible? *NM*
      • It’s common to do what’s called A Mid Air Roll. The casualty is on its side so I they rig to lift and roll it back on to its wheels while it’s in the air. *NM*
        • Thanks for the info, John. Since it looks like the lift is not wrecked in any way I guess this was just a demonstration? *NM*
          • Exactly. *NM*
  • That is one heck of a truck!!! It will be an awesome build! *NM*
