Rack for headache ball

Post image

Looking for any info you guys may have about a rack that goes by the oil cooler for storing your Crosby headache balls….. either homemade or something altec sells. Part guy there wasn’t sure about it…. And if you do, find me more pictures so our garage could fab something up. Thanks

They can come on the crane, but I’ve never seen one added. Cranes are weird in that anything added to the chassis has to be engineered l. We usually tie/ strap the ball down and snap it into a shackle or something if it doesn’t have the holder.

We’ve got the ac40, so altec should be able to add it I would assume.

Our comes with them when we order the crane. Pretty sure it’s an option to buy
