The method shown above can be used to shift more
weight to the front of the crane than the previous methods
will. When using this method check for interference with
hydraulic reservoir and truck tires. Bed attachment to truck
should be planned in advance. If the bed is attached to
torsion box by bolting through slots in torsion box, leave
open area in concrete counterweight for hardware access.
The weight of the concrete can be determined by multiplying
the volume in cubic inches by 0.083 lb per cubic inch.
Example
Concrete poured in the bed measures 4 in (10,16 cm)
deep by 86 in (218,44 cm) wide by 70 in (177,80 cm) long.
The weight of the concrete is 4 x 86 x 70 x 0.083 = 2000 lb
(907 kg). The center of this weight will be in the center of the
concrete slab.
8 in (203)
