Ferdinand Porsche, yes that one, modified an artillery tractor by adding a winch in 1908. This was used as a recovery vehicle for other stuck tractors. |
Yes, that one IS Ernest Holmes Sr. of Chattanooga. The major innovation for this truck was the use of a split boom. These acted as outriggers to stabilize the truck while it pulled from the side. He patented his idea in 1918. |
It is the Miller M100. It has a boom rated for 100 tons. Developed and manufactured by Miller Industries of Ooltewah, TN. |
With special permitting a combined length of 90 feet is allowable. It may be 13 feet 10 inches high. 12 feet 6 inches wide. May have combined weight of 165,000 pounds. |
For smaller trucks a regular license is acceptable. A CDL is required for trucks over 26,000 pounds. |
Outside of Ft. Campbell military base, I don't think so. If you know of any publicly owned/operated tow trucks in Tennessee please let us know. |
