Hi guys,

We're getting ready to mount another 37M Liebherr Boom Pump on a new truck.

We're considering maybe mounting the pump on a new 3 axle Peterbilt instead of a Mack. Do any of you guys have experience with Peterbilts? how do they compare to Mack?

Thanks!

Petes are nice. Freightliner seems to be working for many. Conventionals

I'd sure like to see a pump mounted on a Cat.

Why not go for a Mercedes or MAN? Now these are proven good trucks.. At least 10 years ahead of the US brands.. I just don't understand why the european brands don't take off in the US. Specialy when I look at what kind of rubbish they have been serving you guys over there.

I've ran a pump on a pete chassis , and it was sweet , only problem the suspension system was a little week , had to add a couple leaf springs front and back.
