mattb73lt Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 28-30' is a long roll back and not very common. 20-24' would be more common. I've seen numerous ones mounted to R model chassis over the years and the longer ones are usually tandems. They're out there if you look. I did see a Weld-bilt mounted to an 80's tandem R in PA a few weeks ago for sale. Being more specific in your wants and a geographical area of you search would help in your search? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74324-iso-28%E2%80%99-30%E2%80%99-rollback-truck/#findComment-554886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Most of the BIG roll backs that long are used by the equipment rental companys.. Check the ones in your area to see if they are going to trade / update their equipment either at their location or their associated / nearby locations..

Yes they are little harder to find. Will definitely need a tandem rear. This will be for moving antique fire apparatus. Was the 80s R a tandem? I am continually looking every day. Auctions, truck paper, Facebook etc. Prefer a Mack that a reasonable price.

I can’t recall the length, but it looked in pretty decent shape.

mattb73lt Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I did a quick Google search for 28-30' Mack roll backs and had numerous hits. Newer tandem ones are certainly available. Average price is $100-150,000. Cheaper ones could be found, I'm sure. If your looking for something vintage, like the one posted above, the pickings will be pretty slim and you'll probably be looking at building something to suit your needs. Also, while convenient for loading and unloading, roll backs can be tough to load fire trucks due to the distance from the axle to the end of the tailboard which is usually pretty long. Cribbing and ramps will help soften the angle when the body is up. A lowboy trailer and tractor arrangement might be another and cheaper option. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74324-iso-28%E2%80%99-30%E2%80%99-rollback-truck/#findComment-554899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
