Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Here's a couple quick pictures of a dolly I made to pull a pup trailer behind my 6x6. The hitch is removable so I can install a short standard style hitch for pulling doubles. I haven't built the short hitch yet.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Fanstasic build!! I'm curious about the walking beam setup. Does it have any straight bump/droop travel? For example, on level ground as you increase the load in the bed, would the suspension begin to compress at all? It looks like the only suspension movement is when it's articulating, but perhaps I missed something in the build?
Can't believe how small it makes those tires look! I love it. |

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Thank you for the comments TommyR
The rear suspension is based on a Hendrickson "R" model solid mount suspension. http://www.hendrickson-intl.com/Truc...ional/R-Series The truck was based off a Western Star 6900XD which has larger tires. Before I could find the tires I wanted these kinda grew on me and when it's loaded and off road the it'll stuff the tires. They also work very well off road. So I decided to leave well enough alone. At least for now, |

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Nice Dolly! I'd suggest moving the 5th wheel hitch forward to get the 5th wheel pin centered over the suspension on the dolly, to get a level ride with no porpoising.

Thanks for the comment Brandon and the link to postimg.org. The truck is actually still a work in progress and after a few more tweaks I'm going to rerail it. I've changed and upgraded so many things over the last couple years the frame rails are looking like Swiss cheese. |

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Nice looking screw drive Kent! It almost looks like a CNC's ball screw. With the right RPM motor on it that should work great.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Nice, what thread is on the screw. ? You can come and use my lathe any time, but I'm in Toronto......

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Yes, this is really nicely built but I have a question that I hope wasn't already discussed.
Will this area be sealed up against dirt and exposure? |

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Looks good. Is it the same thread as the Servonaut screw drives?

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
Thanks for the links Kent!
8mm per rev movement, that is very nice. I bookmarked that one for sure. I'm really getting to like Servocity. |

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
I have started to go through all there stuff to get ideas on what might work for us. I've bought a bunch of motors from them including the screw drive motor on this truck. The Crackerbox had a planetary motor set that I ended up modifying with a different motor mounted to the planetary, fun stuff!
