My application will be as follows:
Piggyback splitter unit that will be hanging off the back of my wood trailer via 2 receiver style hitches(or ramp with ball mount and tie down points, although I do have a truck crane in the trailer). It will not be that huge and will have to be fairly light weight(3-600lbs max). It must be no longer than 6' long(with tables collapsed) and a horizontal only design.
The power supply will be electric at first with a 2hp(110V x 30A) motor and a 11 gpm pump and a gas engine(specs anyone? not sure what to run here) to follow later(thanks to rx7145 for putting that idea in my head... ).
What rpm is needed for the electric motor? There are 1725-50 and 3450 rpm available.
Since the search button is broken and Google hasn't come up with anything other than 8" h beam, I am asking the crowd here what type of beam they use.
My welder buddy was thinking of using a 4x4 or 5x5 structural steel box with a 3/16" wall. On top of the box would sit a 7-8"x3/16" plate similar to other peoples designs that has been welded on. I also thought I might be able to use the inside of this beam for part of the fluid tank.
