SHACMAN L3000 4x2 210HP 10 Ton Underlift Wheel Lift SUV Recovery Tow Unit 1050mm Lift Height

No deck, no ramp, no waiting

An underlift truck is not a flatbed with the deck taken off. The frame, rear overhang and suspension are designed around a 10 ton cantilever load hanging behind the rear axle, and that changes everything downstream: cross member spacing, spring rate, hose routing, the thickness of the rear plate.

This L3000 4x2 runs a folding L arm underlift with 1050mm of lift travel and 1500mm of hydraulic boom extension. A stuck SUV in an underground car park exit, a light truck with a dead starter on the shoulder, a car that cannot roll because the front wheel is jammed at 30 degrees: none of those need a deck. They need a hook that reaches and lifts.

Specifications

Hook up in three moves

1. Back in until the L arms clear the tyre sidewalls, stop on the rear camera guide line.
2. Drop the boom, fold the arms under the tyres, cinch the ratchet straps at both wheels.
3. Lift until the towed vehicle's front wheels clear by 80mm, then set the safety pin.

A trained driver does this in under three minutes. A flatbed takes closer to eight, plus deck tilt and winch time. On a busy ring road that difference is the whole job.

Frame and hydraulic details that are easy to get wrong

• The rear plate is 10mm Q345B, not 8mm. Underlift trucks that bounce on bad road joints crack the thinner plate first, usually at the boom pivot ears.
• Hoses run inside the frame rail from the pump to the rear valve block, with a heat sleeve over the exhaust side section.
• The stabiliser legs are plumbed to a separate lock valve, so a hose failure does not drop both legs at once.
• L arm pivots use greasable bronze bushings; the pin is 40Cr, induction hardened.

Vehicles it is built for

SUVs to 3.5 ton, light trucks to 6 ton, motorhomes to 5 ton, and any vehicle with damaged front steering that cannot be winched onto a deck. It is not a rotator and not a heavy recovery unit; above 10 ton, the load path belongs on a different chassis.

Shipping and support

Normally RoRo, since the rear overhang makes container loading awkward. We cap and label every hose, grease the pins, and supply a laminated hook-up card in English, French or Spanish on request. Lead time 30 to 45 working days.

Buyer questions

Can the arms take alloy wheels without marking them? Yes, the standard saddle pads are rubber faced. For high-end alloy, order the nylon pad set.

Is the boom extension manual or hydraulic? Hydraulic, controlled from the rear valve block.

Do you supply the towed-vehicle lighting bar? Included, with a 7 pin plug and magnetic mounts.
