5-3/8" poly rollers in lieu of 2" steel rollers must be utilized at the front of the leg stand system. Unit will include minimum four, 2” poly side guide wheels. The height of the legs must be increased by 2” to compensate

Attachment F - 15 of 20 for the taller dump bodies. The length of the leg stands must be extended by 12” at the front, to allow for the front wheels to initiate contact sooner when dealing with an older dump body floor that has the severe washboard wear.

5. SAE NO. 5: 9.5 CUYD LEG STANDS: V-Box must come equipped with a set of folding stainless-steel leg stands. The V-Box stands must be bolted or welded directly to the V-box. The V-box stands must be mounted in locations that allow the legs to fully support the V-box to prevent tipping or collapsing of the V-box. Legs must come equipped with a tailgate latch bar on each side. Customer will specify which method of attachment.

All four legs must be equipped with a handle to allow for ease of operation when lowering or raising the legs.

5-3/8" poly rollers in lieu of 2" steel rollers must be utilized at the front of the leg stand system. Unit will include minimum four, 2” poly side guide wheels.
