Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
My pipe is 3 1/4" diameter, 1/4" thick.What is the dia of your roller? I've got some 5" pipe I'm thinking of using for mine.
I'm also going to try and get by without the center support for the roller. Since it's going to be removable, it would just be easier without the center support. I honestly don't think the 5" pipe will flex that much without center support considering how light the shelter is. If I get to winching heavier things I may have to rethink it.
The shelter was around 3-4k pounds.Wow red, this bed loading system is pretty cool!
How much does your shelter box weigh?
I have been looking for a cheap system I could fab up to load 2000lb white pine logs into my truck. Thinking a steel sled with straps to hold the log.
It seems there would be huge amounts of force on the roller when the sled is pivoting so winch would have to be sized accordingly.
Yea, bad me.What, you sold the shelter after CARNAC dragged it halfway across the country for you? What, you sold the trailer after I dragged it halfway across Texas for you?
Standard S280 mainly (from the info I've seen, around 1,500lbs). I've also got a M49 deuce tanker bed that I thought I might also add some skids on and winch it onto the deuce if I need to transport some water. The tanker would be empty when loading/unloading it from the deuce bed so I'm just guessing but maybe 3,000-5,000lbs at most.How much weight are you wanting to lift?
Do you have a picture?Waiting game sucks.
Been looking at pop up campers for the truck. I'm liking the Trailmanor 2417, hard sided pop up.

Thanks!Google is your friend
Agreed. Helps with aerodynamics, center of gravity, and spaceThanks!
That's slick the way it expands up-and-down, and fore-and-aft.
I wonder what the temperature at the nut would have to reach in order to do just that.Ah, the joys of removing a destroyed outer wheel bearing. The 2nd nut wouldn't move, had partially melted to the bearing.
