2-Wheeled Trailer Equipped With Hand-Operated Pivoting Boom
Chad Burnett, Bruce's Welding, Girard, Ill. 62640 (ph 217 627-2241): "We built a small 2-wheeled trailer that's equipped with a hand-operated, pivoting boom. It works great for a variety of reach-and-lift jobs. The boom mounts at the center of the trailer just ahead of the wheels and is equipped with a hand-cranked winch and cable. The boom can be rotated by removing a steel pin and grabbing a handle.
  "We built it for a local hog confinement operator who uses it to pick up dead hogs and load them into a dumpster. The axle is rated to handle up to 3,500 lbs."
