With the length of that boom out back, that Oshkosh needs more weight up front if they pick up anything Heavy... don't know if a tank retriever is going to totally lift the tank with boom extended completely. boom in it may nave capacity to lift unit to load on a trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/77/#findComment-541555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
