PINTLE HOOKS:
Available Pintle Hooks allow the crane to tow other disabled vehicles and trailers, and drag
loads.
1. Limit the vertical load to about 1000 pounds (450 kg) and the horizontal pull to
about 5000 pounds (2270 kg).
2. Exceeding the capacities can damage the drive train.
3. Use slow and smooth motions to avoid shock loads or overrunning loads. Make
sure other vehicle is occupied and controlling the vehicle being towed.
Pintle Hooks also allow the crane to be towed for short distances.
1. Use appropriately sized straps or chains.
2. Bypass transmission, as described on page 3-16. Utilize an Operator to activate
brakes as needed and steer the crane while being towed.
3. Do not exceed a towing speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h).
