Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
They actually consider it a 100 ton rotator and Highpoint, now Avella, even put a 100 ton rating plate on it (which caused some debate on Tow411). B&B was going through the process to have it re-rated to be a 100 ton rotator but I don't think that was ever done. The limitations appear to be in the carrier and not the rotator itself. I think a B&B 80 ton, Miller 1075, Jerr Dan 70/85 and NRC Heavy Incident Manager will all get the job done.
Personally, I like the look of the Miller, especially on a twin steer chassis. They all make twin steer models but I prefer the look of a 72 inch front axle spread which Miller uses, whereas Jerr Dan and NRC both have the second axle behind the cab. B&B doesn't have a standard twin steer configuration but I think they recently doing one on a stock T800 twin steer chassis.
Regardless, your Paystar is going to be awesome!
