Hi folks, i have a 500kg penny hydraulics swing lift same as one shown below. I’d like to mount it on edge of 14x6 IW trailer bed, and support it with an outrigger. Trailer will be getting a new floor shortly so now is the time to get this sorted.
My question is what size plate or set up do you think would be required to support it and transfer the loads into the trailer chassis?
There is some 75mm x 4 mm square box but those sections are over on about 700 centres, theres ‘C’ channel between but cutaway for wheel clearance. To bridge between two of these pieces the plate would need to be pretty hefty?
Or should i make something more like a frame?
My initial thought was 10mil….? Appreciate your time and thoughts, thankyou.
