Mounting the Bed (aka: Lifting Frame’s 1st Use)
Posted in July 15th, 2008
In an earlier post, I showed the construction of a portable lifting frame for my chain hoist.
Today’s job: Lift the 13′ dump bed back onto the truck. I don’t know the weight on this bed, but even with it’s dual 10 ton hydraulic rams and 6″ channel frame it must be less than 3 tons because that’s all my chain-fall is rated for. 
Frame Assembly (it all just slides together)
- Stakes in front of the feet
- Upper chain and chain-fall ready
- Rope attached to top of frame and truck
Lifting the Frame Into Place
Turn the Feet 90 Degrees to Stabilize (and chase Orville out from his shady spot under the bed)
Enjoy!

Who would ever have believed it?! It’s been eight years already. Whew!
What a wonderful day. Celebrated by a day at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo cake, pizza and presents!
Life does not get any better than this.
