installing a wagon hoist

I have a customer wanting me to put a hoist under a 8'6" x 18' bale wagon . I'm woundering will a reach that long take it ? all hoist wagons i've been around are short barge box types .
 

Have a Midwest 7 ton hoist on a 12 foot body here, looks to me like the majority of the forces get applied directly to the axles, with torsion on the gear pole preventing the front axle etc from rotating.

While the longer gear pole would be weaker, I'd think the bigger issue would be if the body would tip far enough to dump anything that didn't spill out easy. You can't have any over hang on the back of the body will dig into the ground tipping. (BIG spread!)

I'm at full lift before some stuff I haul will slide out complete, and zero overhand and the body is about 12" off the ground at full tilt.

Something like round bales, you'd likely get enough incline to unload them all just by pulling a lever :)
 
This one's a 16 foot box. It's a scissor type hoist,not a telescoping cylinder.

Dad had two 16ft wagons he used for ear corn that had dump hoists on them. Just the regular ones not telescope. I was to small to remember any more details. Tom
