What happens here

The truck's chassis is not standard; it is custom-built by Palfleet in Tiffen, Ohio, to specifically support the heavy crane. It features a double-wall frame, which is a key engineering detail providing immense stability and strength. This robust construction allows the truck to withstand the torsional forces and heavy loads imposed by the crane during operation, making it significantly more capable than standard truck chassis.

Goal: Learn about the custom engineering and construction of the truck's chassis for enhanced stability.

Tools and materials

  • Custom Chassis Palfleet — Providing a stable and strong base for the crane
  • Double-wall Frame Palfleet — Adding strength and stability to the chassis
  • Specialized Grapple Truck Palfinger — The truck with the custom chassis

What they say

could fail and break apart. What else do we need to know about a truck like this, Wes? You got to have specialized training to run truck like this. Yeah. So when we got it, we uh we we got three days with the training and then Tanner, he doesn't have it yet, but he's working on is something something something crane certified operator. Yeah, there's a certain certification to operate this type of crane. We don't need to as arborists because um we're we're technically like agricultural. We're not like lifting rated things. So technically we don't need to be a licensed operator, but we're just going to do it just because it's a good thing to do. We we got it built by Pallet Fleet out of Tiffen, Ohio. We did a lot of researching different builders. They're the best builder in the country that we found. You in your opinion, they're the best builder. What is the name of them? Pallet Fleet out of Tiffen, Ohio. Pallet Fleet. So do they start with a regular chassis on this thing or is this a custom chassis? Uh they have to they spec the chassis out to be like a certain length and it's got like a double wall frame and I think there's a lot more that goes into the engineering but yes this chassis was from the factory built to have this crane mounted on the back. What about right from the factory now? Is this is this from pallet figure? Yeah, that's these the stabilizers are part of the crane and then it's got if you look at the frame
