What crane to sit on back of Unimog u1250

[Jonny Burch]

Hi all

 

As Bob has the Mog this weekend to upgrade the suspension [emoji106]🏻[emoji106]🏻[emoji106]🏻 we talked about having a crane on the back. Mick Dundee hopefully can work his magic to have it on 3 point linkage.

 

What would people who have them recommend?

 

Cheers all

 

Have a great weekend!

Surely more useful to buy a botex timber trailer? And cheaper.

 

Just a thought

You can't go very big on the linkage.

 

I would have thought a Hiab 070 or 090, but on a sub frame.

He's 7ft tall! Some people call him The Stig but he will always be Mick to us ☺

I dont know what JB ordered in the way of springs but its bumped it up about 4" at the front and 2" at the back

 

1000mm to the top of the bumper with the old springs

 

 

 

Shocks are a bit bigger in diameter which make them a tad tight in the shock turrets

 

 

 

1100mm now to the top of the bumper
