The
New Model 10 5th Wheel Towing Boom converts any standard fifthwheel
road tractor for towing service at a moments notice. This heavy duty
wrecker unit is built strong and built to last. Featuring a massive 12
X 12 boom, this super sturdy unit sports more than enough power to
haul a full sized condo semi from the front and never break a sweat.
Tow semi tractors, straight trucks, buses and other towable equipment.
Reduce towing expense. Enjoy in house towing service on demand. Keep
customers satisfied by swapping out tractors in case of unscheduled
delays, therefore keeping promised deliveries on time. Save big by
bringing disabled units home for quality repairs you can afford.
Safety is paramount with heavy duty towing and this unit really delivers.
Voted #1 for safety and stability. The three point attachment system
from the boom to the sling pulls trucks true and steady with no side to
side swaying even when sudden movements occur. Our 3 point attachment system consists of three 1/2 inch
grade 70 chains in a triple endless basket sling configuration. Each of
the three loops has a WLL (working load limit) of 22,600lbs. You have 3
fully rated chains wrapped around 2 cold rolled steel pins for a total
WLL of 67,800lbs between the boom and the towed vehicle.
Also standard with every unit is an air brake safety assembly which
allows you to provide critical air brake actuation to the towed
vehicle. A must have for safety on wet roads and where sudden stops
occur.
The Best Design
No complicated setups. The boom is a fixed position
system with the hydraulic lifting point nearest to the load. This design ensures you will always have adequate reach for a safe
turning radius on any standard fifth wheel tractor. All this while still maintaining
plenty of power to lift a full sized condo semi from the front with
ease.
The newly designed ratchet tie down safety system and safety chains are
included standard on every Model 10. Two 1/2 inch ratchet binders are
permanently mounted to the frame and a handy built in storage
compartment conveniently stores the safety chain. This convenient setup
ensures the use of this important safety feature.
The Best Finish
The Model 10 is hot dip galvanized. Galvanizing is a process that has
long been an industry standard finish for steel products exposed to the
rigors of the road. Boat trailers which are consistently dunked in salt
water typically are galvanized due to the unique durability of this
finish. It is our opinion that this is the only suitable finish for a
product such as a fifthwheel wrecker. Think about the environment to
which this unit is going to be exposed. This unit will be living in a
swirling cloud of road moisture and salts which will penetrate every
inch of the fifth wheel wrecker. A galvanized finish will not allow
rust to compromise the integrity of the steel that is the backbone of
this money saving machine. This unit will never rust from the inside
out. We recognize what you want is a finish that will stand up to the
rigors of the environment it will be living in. Thus providing you many
years of dependable, maintenance free service while protecting the
structural integrity of your investment.
Operation is simple and straight forward. Our electric
units offer a hand held
remote control allowing one person to operate the lift motor while
ensuring lift chains and other components stay put. Hookups are
fast and easy to perform. With hundreds of units on the road here in
the US and abroad this unit has proven itself not only safe and
dependable but a wise investment that pays for itself in a very short
period of time.
