Alasdair Ryan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I am building a skip truck if that counts,if you used my tele arm and added the hock part to it, it would be quite easy to do. Quote
KopMaister Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 You are aware of this set, right? you're right all he has to do is convert the concept to a trailer :P Quote

kristl Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 started a little designing... hints and tips are welcome. Pat Don't forget that the arm has to have two functions, one to load or unload the skip and the second to act as dumper where it must lift the skip to about 45 degress angle.

Pat-Ard Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for the hint... I'll do a little research... Quote
