MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
5000 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
! CAUTION !
Improperly mounted cranes can injure people or damage property. These instructions describe installation of a
s
crane on a typical
s
service body. Contact the dealer for other service body/truck chassis
combinations.
! CAUTION !
The truck chassis must be capable of safely supporting the entire chassis, body, crane, other equipment and the
maximum capacity of the crane - 5000 pounds.
s
5000 cranes must be installed on a truck chassis with a GVWR of at least 14,500 pounds. The GVWR
must exceed the curb weight of the complete vehicle by at least the rated load of the crane (5000lbs). The curb
weight is the total weight of the chassis, body, crane, and other equipment. (See example below.)
GVWR = 14,500LBS
CURB WT. = BODY WT. (1500 LBS) + CRANE WT. (1200 LBS) + CHASSIS WT. (5000 LBS) = 7700 LBS
GVWR (14,500 LBS) – CURB WT. (7700 LBS) = 6800 LBS > 5000 LBS
! CAUTION !
Never attach, change, or use unauthorized components on your
s
crane. This could result in failure
of the crane and/or possible injuries and voids any warranty or liability
.

You must reinforce the compartment and floor before you mount the crane. Get help from the truck dealer or
distributor if the

Consult the distributor for the proper body required for your application.
