Chev Wrecker
Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me if the Holmes W45 as fitted on the Dimond T is the same crane as fitted to the Chev, as i have one standing on the back of my chev and was planning on fitting it but have a feeling the booms may be longer than the one made to fit the chev.

Same system, but surely a heavier version?
My Diamond T manual doesn't mention the model number, but does say it is rated at 5 tons per boom, 10 tons total. Not easy to modify or lighten, so possibly best just sold to someone with a bare T chassis?

W45 is what a Diamond T uses.
CMP's used hand operated winches and the whole thing is a lot smaller and lighter. Cheers Jeff

What's the heavy?
I think you've answered the question, but what is the heavy behind the Chev in the photo?
It looks big enough to be an M26 Pacific but isn't quite right for that, so I'm thinking a big M-series equivalent? Gordon

W45
The Chev did have power operated winches and is identical to look at as the one fitted to a diamond T, my friend has one fitted to a Mack NM6 but im unsure if the booms would have been shorter on the Chev. Jeff your first picture is not the same as my W45 i guess thats due to the W45 being power operated I will try and upload a photo.

The Chev C60 S was fitted with the W35 Holmes wrecker..The W45 was heavier rating and fitted on the Diamond "T" 969... Ex Mr.Manual... And the Ratings on the W45 and The W35 are in the MB C2 and the Diamond "T" maintenance manuals..I don't have them any more but Grant could look up the ratings.. But I believe they are 10 and 15 ton rated.. Memory is slipping .. Like my clutch...

W35
Hi Alex, Its been years since i visited you with Brian and Barry to buy some manuals!
Thanks for that information, all i need to know now is the diferences bettween the W35 and the W45 then i can decide if im going to fit this crane to the chev or sell it to someone with a Diamond T.
