my oil field truck

[uk trucker]

Bet those 25 inch tyres looked mean!

Here is a photo of the winch, it uses a motor with a 100:1 gearbox to directly drive the drum


Here is a photo of testing out the gin poles,


before I make a pair of manually operated winches to raise and lower the poles.

I also learnt why there is a pulley at the back end of the bed, gets a bit exciting without it! Guess if you forget to use it on a real truck , it gets a bit crazy and very expensive.
