Hey Gerry if you look on the super cab windows you can see the Maxies excavating logo. this is how they do most of their smaller trucks. highway tractors and tandems have a big decal on the door. I like this look better, nice and clean with a little lettering on the dark window.
Plus when I cut someone off it makes it harder for them to phone my boss on me!!!!! LOL

Looks nice! Never seen an F550 built 2,000 lbs over GVWR though.

The truck has the factroy gvwr max option and the body manufacture also put four extra leafs in the left Side and two extra on the Right side.
With these the overloads are touching on the front but not on the back.
The truck is licensed for up to 12,500 kgs which is around 27,000 lbs

Cool, so they did take that into consideration when they built it. That thing weighs more than most semi tractors!

Thanks for sharing this with us. This is the perfect truck.
I wouldn't even need a garage with one of these and I could take my garage anywhere I wanted!
If that's a crane, how much can it lift?

Dean, I noticed the landing gear there too so all the weight is not on the springs & tires when you lift

Yes G
The outrigger on the drivers side extends out seven feet. Also then I have a crane pad about two feet square that gives me a stable ground for the leg to support the crane.
