Even gators need a lift sometimes

Just another vehicle I was told I need a flatbed for Not!

Careful there; I think you might be approaching the load limit of that wheel lift and your dollies.  : )  : )  : )

 

I think you could bring the extension in at least a couple feet or so, though...

I was mostly teasing; I know no experienced operator would intentionally leave the extension out that far when towing unless the clearance was needed.

 

That's one thing I've noticed on those particular units, if you let debris get in the extension housing, it spells doom for the hoses and man it ain't fun taking apart to repair.  None of them are, but it seems the auto-grip is a bit more susceptible to damage there.  Previous job had one in the fleet and several lots we store at are gravel.  That was the one truck that kept catching rocks and eating hoses.  With several different people driving the truck, couldn't seem to keep everyone trained on avoiding it.

Looks good

 

With a light load, strapping  wheels to dolly cross bar & not dolly wheel frame may allow crossbars from popping out of frame on poor road conditions.

The strap is around the tire   basically because tire was flat wet and slippery and I didnt want tire to slip thru cross bar.
