ROLLBACK TRUCK FAQS
Rollback
How do I operate a Ledwell Rollback?
Watch this or read below to operate your Ledwell Rollback correctly to extend the life of the bed.
To get started, walk around the entire truck to inspect the following: Hydraulic & Air Hoses, Winch & cable system, Lights, Flooring, and Wheels & Tires. Make sure the truck is on level ground.
Position truck far enough in front of the payload to roll bed back.
Engage PTO inside the cab.
Dump the rollback suspension. Chock the wheels.
If using Ledwell’s wireless remote to operate:
Push Stabilizer Down to lower stabilizer until it rests firmly on the ground.
Push Rollback Off to slide the bed towards the rear of the truck until the arrow indicator decal is behind mud flaps.
Push Bed Lift Up to adjust the angle of the bed.
Load at the lowest possible angle for safety.
Alternate sliding and adjusting angle of bed until firmly on the ground Load Equipment and remember to set the parking brake.
Secure equipment to the rollback with preferred tie-downs.
Be sure each piece is tied down at four points to secure properly.
To unload, reverse the process.
What size load can I haul on my Rollback?
A 28’ Rollback bed is designed for a 30,000 lb. load evenly distributed. Care must be taken with hard tired equipment as this causes a high point load on the bed between the cross members. Always load in center of the bed over the bed rails for maximum carrying safety.
Why is my bed noisy and loose when operating?
Your bed moves and is supported on nylatron bearing pads located on the main bed rails both inside and outside the flanges.
These require a liberal greasing of both the flanges, center web of the beam, and top pads of the truck frame rail with NLGI G#2 specification waterproof grease monthly. A small paint roller works well for this.
When the truck receives PM, that is a good time to grease all points.
Why does my bed operate slowly and stall out against a load?
Your truck has a 17GPM Hydraulic pump set to produce 2100 PSI at the relief. Slow operating and stalling are signs your pump may be getting weak.
A weak pump will not produce enough flow or pressure because it is bypassing internally, which will make the oil heat up more than usual.
Staling could also mean overloading if you hear the pressure relief bypassing.
What is the Hybrid Rollback option?
The Hybrid Rollback features a hydraulic tilting subframe and a double-acting pair of hydraulic cylinders that control bed movement.
Does the rollback include a winch?
The Rollback includes a 20,000 pound hydraulic winch as a standard feature.
