That's pretty cool Spence. I suspect between yourself and many others here on TBN we could author a book similar to this Working Alone (or maybe it should be "Working Alone with Tractors") /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

As many of you know, I've long been a proponent of using towing and recovery equipment for any number of things. I've done what you showed here, moved small buildings on trucks like this and even used an extendable boom to lift materials up to a second story before. The range of equipment available is incredibly versatile. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Wow, a Taco Bell in the background! Civilization! We used to have one in Vermont, but it went out of business! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Pete, we've got plenty of Taco Bells around here. I'm not sure what it is about their tacos but I can't eat more than 6 or 8 at a time. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bird, I hope you mean 6 to 8 at a sitting... not at a time!!!!

Got plenty of Taco Bell's around here too. I only get to enjoy them once in a while due to the diet /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Bird, it was an fair question...could be that you did eat 6 or 8 at a time especially since the topic was about unloading 2000 pounds.
Back on topic... That is clearly a good way to unload the equipment and I'll stick that tidbit away in long-term memory. Thanks.

spencer,
Nice piece of work, thanks for the photos. That sure is one big pretty piece of stainless steel.
I like your truck to. Ramp trucks, and recovery equipment in general, have always been fun for me to drool over.
Tell us a little more about your tripod dollies and where similar dollies can be purchased. I can sure see where those little 3 wheeled beauties could come in handy.
