Daybrook Hoist info needed
I have a Daybrook dump hoist. I am trying to find out what model it is and locate a book on it. Look up eBay item number 230289287231 for photos. And no I did not pay the Buy It Now price! eBay Motors: HD. Hydraulic Dump Hoist truck or trailer roofing etc. (item 230289287231 end time Sep-17-08 20:38:55 PDT)

Finding literature specific to yours will be a challenge. The closest I can get you are the pages from the 1952 Hildy's Blue Book of special equipment. I see from your profile, though, that your truck is a '54. There are three pages in my Hildy's devoted to Daybrook products that may or may not be exactly right for your '54. If nobody jumps on here with a better solution, I'll take the book tomorrow and have copies made then post them for you. Also, maybe Bob Jones or one of the other guys that has Hildy's on disc can cover you. Stu

The truck in the eBay photo is not my truck. It was a mid '70's and it looks like the hoist was used when it was put on. I have no idea how old the hoist is. I heard Daybrook closed in the mid sixtys. It would be nice to have a parts breakdown and know the rated capacity. I do believe it is the correct vintage for my '54 F-500 but it may be a little overkill.

This is what Hildy's has. Not sure it helps you a lot, but it's a start. I'll also add a link that has more info on the company. Stu

Truckdog, Thanks for the info. I had not found anything like it on the net. Im thinking I have a heavy duty 7" double arm speedlift for a tandem axle truck. This hoist is heavy, about 750 pounds. I may convert it to a direct lift hoist as shown in the top picture.
