<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Manips are for manipulating, not lifting. Most light arms can do 50-60#. for lifting you could hook on a (releasable) cables and lift with the MBTs. Better yet, take a line down to attach and let your surface crew haul away, or do what we fit at HBOI and in the North Sea. Take a lift bag down rolled into a PVC tube with a blow and go hose from your air banks. Hook up, back away to deploy the bag, inflate and run away (to get out from under the load)</div><div>Vance<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jan 23, 2014, at 2:27 PM, "Land N Sea" <<a href="mailto:landnsea1@hawaiiantel.net">landnsea1@hawaiiantel.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div>I am planning on fabricating my own manipulator for my K-350 that will be
hydraulic and was wondering if anybody that had experience using one on a boat
that size would be able to let me know about how much an arm would be able to
pick fully extended and if a VBT up forward was mandatory to keep the
trim.</div>
<div>I am planning on making the manipulator out of two sections, each about 2’
long giving me a 4’ reach fully extended which will get me out just past my
forward MBT. </div>
<div>I realize that the lifting capacity is based on a number of things like the
rated capacity of the rams and where they are attached to the arms so if you
know that as well that would be great. It’s freezing here on the big Island! I
woke up to a chilling 54 degrees and had to put on a sweat shirt just to walk up
to my shop.<wlEmoticon-sadsmile[1].png></div>
