teaching your spider to roll over

Flipped it on its side by myself with the cherry picker. Pretty easy once I figured out the balance point..

Hi Daniel,
Thought about that but this is more stable. Btw the corners just barely cleared the ceiling when I flipped it... :mrgreen:

That was my first thought...however my spider is an early one and the bumper mounts were in no way strong enough for that kind of mounting..plus with this design I can put wheels on it and roll it out side to sand blast or pressure wash if needed.
