I had a C-30 that came to me as a flatbed. I had an electric/hydraulic lift installed, and hauled the 1 and 2 cu yd loads that the others couldn't be bothered with (End of quote). I soon found out why they couldn't, but that's another story. The lift gave me no trouble, even dumping 2 and 3 yd loads of sand (5000 to 7000 lbs). Admitedly, I only used it for about three months before getting a bigger truck, but I sold it to a friend who had no trouble with it that he didn't bring on himself (broken wires, etc.). Respect its limits and, for the money and amount of use you anticipate, I think you would be well served with the system. Avoid dumping on a side-hill, and expect dumping to take maybe half again as long. And you can't slam the bed around like the big boys do, to empty wet dirt.
