Minimum Load Angle**	13 degrees at 35 inch frame height
* Load ratings are based on structural factors - not chassis capability. ** Load angle varies with frame height and carrier length. Lower frames and longer carriers will produce lower angles.

10. The low approach angle allows easy damage free loading of low profile cars. And Chevron's setback side rail gives the operator lay-down clearance when attaching the cable and chain to a vehicle.	11. Inboard tilt cylinders are used to allow the carrier to be mounted as close to the truck frame as possible. The tandem cylinder configuration provides excellent load stability. And the 4-inch bore provides plenty of tilting power. The 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.
12. Illuminated dual controls allow easy operation of all carrier functions from the driver and passenger sides.	13. The body lock provides a secondary means of hold-down and prevents the body from rattling beyond the front of the subframe. Chevron uses nylatron roller bearings to prevent friction against bottom flange of the sills. And the alignment guides ensure that the body properly engages the rollers when the carrier is operated on uneven ground conditions.
14. 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.	15. 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.
16. Chevron's BackSaver wheel retainers are permanently mounted to the wheel grids and rotate horizontally. 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.	17. Chevron uses basket straps for added safety and reliability to secure the towed vehicle to the wheel lift.
18. 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.
