Olympic series telescopic conversion
hoists by Omaha Standard
We believe Omaha Standard s name on a telescopic con
version hoist means a tough piece of equipment that’ll
outlast the truck W** set out to prove that Omaha Stan
dard tested the Olympic hoist with an off-center load
suspended out from and completely off the platform with
one cylinder disconnected 1 This test produced an offset
load equal to 500,000 in /lbs of torque—the equivalent of
suspending over three tons out 80" from the centerline of
the truck and body
Here you see It...great torsional stability!
Body twist was negligible the stability shown by the
Olympic was excellent We believe that the off-center load
test demonstrates what many truck owners have known
all along Omaha Standard s Olympic Senes, twin tele
scopic conversion hoists are the finest available on the
market today
An Omaha Standard body, matched with the right
Olympic hoist its a tough combination for all your
