Hi, this might get moved to the truck forum but I thought I would post here first to see if you guys have any good ideas.
I have a cat 279C that just fits into my tipper truck body. The problem is I have no room to store the ramps. The ramps are 51kg each so not easy to move around by myself.
I am thinking of building a false floor in the tipper body so I can store the ramps in there. The downside of this is that I will have a decreased carrying capacity - both in weight and volume. It is also not a cheap solution but I can't think of any other way.
My body is already 2.5m wide so by law I can't hang them of the outside as it will make the body too wide.
The steel fabricator guy said he could build the floor but he thinks that just for storing the ramps is overkill. Saying that he can't come up with a better solution and he doesn't have to move them around many times a day.
What do you guys think - any suggestions?
