the crane can lift upto 12t.

And it took from 12 to 15:45 from loading at my ground to unload 95km away in denmark/North Sea.... I love those danish tranporters...:thumbsup:

I had a friend with a Scarrab 377, and he had a custom Ford F650 pulling it--medium duty diesel truck with a 2 speed rear axle. All in all, it was a very long ride--including the truck and trailer.

It all depends on how far you're going to take it, and how often you're going to trailer the boat.

You might could get by with a 1 ton truck (F350, C3500, D30) with a diesel, but a Ford F450 or F550 would be preferable.

I would say step up to a medium duty truck if you're going to pull it very often and to far off places.

And i can mount a 12t Hydraulic Crane on a 1t Ford!? :o:o
