    It is on my list of places to go and see what they have, nothing online could be as good.

    They're just off 70 and 301, not a very impressive factory, but they get the job done and build you anything you want.

    Sounds good to me, I like going manufacturing places and seeing how things are built. Or at least eye balling all the cool things that would take years or decades to see out on the road.

    I have been there too picking up the military trailers headed to Cali and I haul a lot out of Globe in Tacoma that specializes in pulp and paper mill machinery. Cool stuff

    Is it hydraulically controlled??? And does it have its own stand-alone system or does it operate off a wet kit on the truck??

    I would think you could build it either way.

    That would save a ton of wear and tear from the yahoo's they have running a fork lift, slamming the one's you have now to the ground. I've heard all the horror stories!!!!!

    That is a slick set-up
     
    aiwiron Thanks this.
