Truck dimensions Length = in. Width = 97.5 in. Height = 115 in. Weight = 5000 lbs. Weight acts at center of truck 3
Platform Dimensions Platform length = in. Platform width = in. Platform weight = 5000 lbs. Weight acts at center of platform 4
For now, assume that cables attached to the outer edges of the plates will not contact the truck. Lifting hook is located above platform at 230 in. Being attached to 3 cable connected to a platform. 5
