** Load ratings are based on structural factors - not chassis capability. |
|
 13. The low approach angle allows easy damage free loading of low profile cars. Chevron's setback side rail gives the operator lay-down clearance when attaching the cable and chain to a vehicle. |
 14. Outboard tilt cylinders are used on chassis that do not have a straight rail frame. They also avoid chassis modifications such as crossmember removal and inboard fuel tank relocation. |
 15. Inboard tilt cylinders are used on chassis with straight rail frames to allow the carrier to be mounted as close to the truck frame as possible. Chevron uses tandem tilt cylinders for proper load stability when tilting the carrier. The 45 degree slanted design provides the best hold-down strength with a vehicle on the hitch or wheel lift. |
 16. The full length subframe provides maximum overlap to the body while it is fully extended to minimize bending stress on the body. Notice that Chevron uses large 6 x 3 slide rail tubes reinforced with another structural tube across the hinge to withstand abusive operating situations for the most demanding users. And when the body is extended, the rear hose trough guides the winch hoses so they will not get tangled and damaged. |
 17. All hydraulic lines are neatly positioned and routed for trouble free service. |
 18. The optional anti-tilt system employs a spool valve that mechanically blocks the flow of oil to the tilt cylinders when the body is in the forward position. This valve uses the hydraulic system to prevent the operator from damaging the body lock while tilting the carrier. |
 19. The full width tail light housing completely encloses all wiring to prevent electrical corrosion and damage. Its high impact design features a rugged steel construction for rear-end protection with shock mounted lights to withstand abusive loading and towing operations. |
 20. The body lock provides a secondary means of hold-down and prevents the body from rattling beyond the front of the subframe. Notice that Chevron uses roller bearings to prevent friction against the wear strip end plates located in the bottom flange of the aluminum sills. |
 21. Illuminated dual controls allow easy operation of all carrier functions from the driver and passenger sides. |
 22. The independent hitch is raised and lowered hydraulically with tandem lift cylinders for easy tow height adjustment. The hitch also extends and retracts hydraulically to easily position the towed vehicle for proper turning clearance. |
 23. Pilot operated holding valves are used on tilting and lifting functions to prevent cylinder movement while the hydraulic system is disengaged. |
 24. Like the hitch, our independent wheel lift is hydraulically raised, lowered and extended, but with a maximum reach of 64 inches for long overhang vehicles. |
 25. The setback crossbar combined with a large pivot pin and wide flat bearing surface minimizes wear and provides exceptional durability at the wheel lift pivot. The low profile crossbar is only 4 1/2 inches high for tight spoiler and air dam clearance. |
 26. Chevron's BackSaver wheel retainers are permanently mounted to the wheel grids and rotate horizontally above the crossbar to clear curbs. The wheel pans are also removable to accommodate curb side hook-ups. |
 27. The wheel grids incorporate wheel chocks that are adjustable to the front side of the tire. This is a convenient feature for towing front wheel drive vehicles because the oil pan will be positioned farther behind the crossbar pivot to avoid oil pan damage. |
 28. The cab protector is a steel mig welded assembly trimmed with aluminum and bolted to the body. On high cab chassis, the cab protector is reinforced with twin vertical tubes. |
 29. Chevron's double-wide water resistant aluminum tool box provides a spacious 8 cu. ft. of storage. This box features a protected internal full perimeter rubber bulb seal for a long lasting resistance to water penetration. Tandem stainless steel paddle latches hold the door shut for proper closure and sealing. And to keep the tool box looking good, a stainless steel cover is mounted to the door for a quality chrome-like finish. |
 30. The single-wide aluminum tool box features a shelf and provides 4 cu. ft. of storage. For additional storage, two, three and four box installations are possible depending on chassis space availability. |
