    M816 boom extention

    You would NOT get me anywhere close if that is used as a jib, in fact I do not think you will find many close watchers.

    M816 boom extention

    ANYTHING past the boom tip is EXTRA weight on the existing boom and support structure, the "16' jib" is considered weight, this x the weight on the jib is what IS on the boom tip, this weight CAN add up quick. The load chart covers the load hanging FROM the boom tip ONLY, there is NO load chart...

    You will be surprised how EASY the outer boom extension WILL bend.

    M816 boom extention

    According to the -10, on outriggers---4500 lbs. no outriggers---1700 lbs. What the -10 DOES NOT say is if this is straight out or max. boom up (45 deg.), what I am fixen to do once things warm up, is to do a work radius chart, wish I had a hanging scale, that way I could do a load radius...

    M816 boom extention

    I have said it before and will say it again, once you realize your in trouble with these military wreckers, it will already be to late to do anything, from the moment the boom is moded, ANYTHING that happens will be on you or the next owner, because once the mod is done, it will be NO LONGER in...

    M816 boom extention

    You are wrong, weight does matter and where it is, if the 2000 is the max load at 18', with all the safety factors in, the crane thinks it is picking up the safe max at 10'., I have been operating cranes since about 1960, I run into this kind of thinking all the time. A 10' jib x #800...

    M816 boom extention

    Good question, think more 246s then 819s, I know VERY FEW compared to the full wrecker, because of the special mission design Maybe DD who knows all kind of interesting number facts will jump in on this.

    GET a M819-----26' of boom

    M816 boom extention

    The 819 has a 26' reach, I'm also a OLD certed crane op. you need to remember that it REAL easy to over load a jib, that is one reason that thay are built lighter then the main boom, if there is a MAJOR overload, you loose the jib, NOT the MAIN boom, a lot of these home made jibs are as...
