swing lift crane on trailer

[parkin287]

So iv had an idea and was wondering if any one has done this and does it work. Was thinking of fitting a swing lift crane on to my trailer? The idea is for lifting ton bags of logs and lumps of timber.

i've mounted a two tonne engine hoist on the front of my sankey works ok for bags

i've even lifted a petters ph2 engine onto the trailer which is the heaviest i'd lift with it

I fitted a Lucas 250kg swing lift to my Transit. It's demountable so I can get more payload on when I'm not using it for logging. It lifts full bags okay but if I were to fit one to a trailer I'd go for the 500kg version which is not demountable. Make sure you mount it high enough, the one on my Transit could have done with being a few inches higher cos the bags drag a bit on the bed.

Spookily enough I've just fitted a 500kg swinglift to the rear corner of an Ifor. I'll get some photos sorted out when I run through the yard in a couple of days....

Thread resurrection.... Anyone got any updates on this?

Need to be careful about weights and overloading. Vosa are pulling a lot of small trailers now, I got pulled off the M6 !.

 

One of my competitors has one on a Transit, manually operated, lifts 800x800 bags ok or so the operator says. He built a cross from steel to connect the loops to a central lifting point.
