Is this a feasible project or are the physics too hairy to overcome?
Available unit is a 37 foot Altec bucket mounted on an 11 foot service body, taken off an F550. I was thinking of mounting it on my 16 foot tandem equipment trailer that has a 7 ton GVWR. The body has one set of outriggers to deploy towards the back. I have to figure out how to run the hydraulic pump and I could build some downriggers for the front.
Could the trailer attached to a truck make a stable enough base to resist the tipping forces? Altec L37m
