Ford F250 Crane and Tailgate Loader Build-off.

A local Safe Transporting company needed a special purpose vehicle to lift and load heavy security safes.

They wanted a hydraulic crane and a tailgate loader all in one.

We  sold them the crane and they supplied the tailgate loader.

Fabrication began with a super strong sub-frame that would handle the heavy loads lifted by the crane and the taxing loads lifted by the tailgate loader.


Completed project.
