In Reply to: grain bed hoist posted by Erik Ks farmer on January 18, 2013 at 17:31:12:
Ericlb in these parts I have never seen a twin cyl hoist with the cylinders mounted outside the frame. Those I am familiar with also are mounted closer together inside the frame, and if you lost a hose it would affect both cylinders anyway. The single cylinder setups on grain beds are also finnicky about dumping on unlevel surfaces, the twin setups less so. After using a couple trucks with the hinge point as much as 4 feet in from the back of the bed I personally would only hinge as close to the rear as possible. That balance point can be hard to stop at if the hoist is any good at all and can make a mess (don't ask me how I know this). If you aren't careful how you load it they also are rather exciting to drive. I personally think a truck with a 15' bed that only has enough frame for a 12' should never pass inspection, but there are a few in our area. We had a truck with a 13' bed and about 9'6" of frame and if you put over a half a load on it you couldn't steer or stop it reliably. I was never happier to see that truck leave here.
