New Pit Rack Configurations from Hunter

Hunter Engineering Co. has introduced two new, heavy-duty pit rack configurations designed to service a wide variety of trucks, especially longer and heavier ones.

"The new P492HD and P493HD offer ease of access with high-capacity, robust construction for getting vehicles on and off the rack and back in service as quickly as possible," say Hunter officials.

"The P492HD features a space-saving design that includes galvanized runways 226 inches long and 30 inches wide, with a runway capacity of 60,000 pounds.

"The P493HD provides an extended runway length of 360 inches, 30 inches in width and a runway capacity of 60,000 pounds.

Hunter officials say the racks’ enhanced capabilities "will unlock new opportunities for shops, allowing service for very heavy vehicles such as dump trucks or concrete pumpers, as well as long and low vehicles, such as buses and coaches."

The new configurations are compatible with Hunter’s current HD jack, along with the new HD scissor jack, providing a capacity of 22,000 pounds and wide 63-inch reach for independent suspension lifting and solid axles.

"Additionally, an optional T-pit extension kit for easy access to the rear underside of the vehicle is available for both models. Modular pit rails in 10-foot sections extend the pit beyond the runways, with no limit to the number of sections."
