Weight of bucket and/or attachments must be subtracted from lift capacities shown. Standard bucket weighs appx. 1000 Ibs. Capacities shown do not exceed 85% of vehicle tipping moment with outriggers fully extended on firm, level ground.
Bucket Features
All-purpose clamshell design, 4 feet wide with an opened width of 5 feet. Replaceable bolt-on bucket blades made of high impact tempered steel. Anti-scalping bucket sides are pivot mounted to provide a horizontal closing action rather than a vertical digging motion. Sides are mechanically linked to a single hydraulic cylinder to ensure both sides close and open together. Continuous rotation. No hoses below bucket rotator.
Chassis & Hoist Requirements
The Petersen HL-3 hooklift truck system requires a heavy-duty chassis & hook-lift hoist. The complexity of the system and diversity of chassis/hoist combinations available necessitates that Petersen checks each one individually prior to sale. The following are minimum requirements:
18ft, 24 cy
GVW: 54,000 (tandem)
Cab to Trunion: 174
Hoist Capacity: 32,000 lbs
Effective Length: 16ft 10in -17 ft 7in
These are not complete chassis specifications. Call your Petersen representative about other possible
chassis arrangements and for complete chassis specs
