LiquidSpring Smart Suspension: A Smoother Ride

One of the standout features of the Titan 38 is the LiquidSpring Smart Suspension system. Unlike traditional suspensions, LiquidSpring uses a sophisticated system that adjusts in real-time to driving conditions. By monitoring factors such as speed, steering, and braking, it provides a smoother ride, reduces driver fatigue, and extends the lifespan of the vehicle by minimizing wear and tear.

Auto Crane Mechanics Body with HC-7x Crane: Built for Reliability

The Titan 38 is equipped with an Auto Crane mechanics body, featuring the HC-7x crane. Auto Crane has a longstanding reputation for producing reliable and efficient service cranes, engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use in demanding environments. The HC-7x crane enhances productivity and ensures safe operation, making it an invaluable asset for any mechanic working in the field. ​


Buckstop single wheel conversion

Buckstop Single Wheel Conversion: Enhanced Off-Road Capability

To tackle challenging terrains, the Titan 38 incorporates Buckstop's Single Wheel Conversion Kit. This modification replaces the standard dual rear wheels with single wheels, improving traction and off-road performance without sacrificing load-carrying capacity. It's an ideal solution for those who need their mechanics truck to perform reliably, even off the beaten path. ​

Ramsey Patriot 16500 Winch: Power and Reliability

The Titan 38 is equipped with the Ramsey Patriot 16500 winch, a robust and reliable tool designed to handle the most demanding recovery and lifting tasks. With a rated line pull of 16,500 pounds (7,484 kg), this winch ensures that operators can confidently tackle heavy-duty challenges in the field.​


Key Features:

  • Powerful Motor: The winch is powered by an efficient 5.5 HP 12V DC series wound electric reversible motor, providing increased pulling power for rigorous applications.​

  • Three-Stage Planetary Gear System: Featuring a proven three-stage planetary gear design with a gear reduction ratio of 298:1, the Patriot 16500 delivers fast line speeds and reliable performance.​

  • Durable Construction: Built with heavy-duty gears and a strong automatic load-holding brake, this winch is engineered for mission-critical performance, ensuring safety and durability during operation.​

  • User-Friendly Design: The spring-loaded pull and rotate clutch allows for easy free spooling, and the weather-resistant solenoid assembly enhances reliability in various environmental conditions.​

  • Standard Equipment: The Patriot 16500 comes standard with 90 feet (27.4 meters) of 7/16-inch (11 mm) 6 x 25 galvanized EIPS wire rope, equipped with a replaceable clevis hook with safety latch. It also includes a 12-foot pendant or an optional patented wireless remote, and 6-foot (1.83 meters) 2 gauge battery cables with connectors.​


Integrating the Ramsey Patriot 16500 winch into the Titan 38 enhances the truck's versatility and capability, providing operators with a reliable solution for heavy-duty recovery and lifting tasks.
