We like to say that…
“There are 2 types of frames out in the world. Ones that break and ones that are reinforced. Which one would you like?” Once we do our #DWFrameReinforcement it’s guaranteed for life by DWS.

REAR SUSPENSION

After installation comes Rear Suspension. Custom leaf springs & helper springs,
The spring shop does not just add leaf springs. They add custom helper springs as well. Plus they relocate the helper pad to come in contact w/ the helper spring sooner.
If your truck is a 3/4 ton they typically don’t come with helper springs or top overload pads.
They are a must. We provide them when we install. You will void the warranty if you operate the truck with no helper springs & pads.

If your truck is a 1 ton more than likely it does come with helper springs and helper pads, but we are going to add custom helper springs and relocate the helper pads.
The spring shop has specific instructions from us to have our pivot pin a certain height. For the unit to perform properly.

VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS PLEASE READ…

*Truck must have a 10,000lb GVWR or we can’t install it.
*No Dodge 2500 w/ Rear Coil Suspension. We can not install any kind of unit on this truck.

Higher Standard Under Body

We used cutting-edge CAD technology to create the design to build the strongest, most versatile wheel lift on the market. Our team constructs each piece, by hand, to ensure solid construction and strength at all connections. We have strategically reinforce areas that are known to have issues in other designs, to prevent weak spots from occurring. We also strategically reinforce the truck frame before mounting the Lil Hercules™ wheel lift. Lil’ Hercules comes as either standard “L” arm-wheel grid, or the self-loading Herc-O-Matic.

Smarter Construction

Our Lil Hercules™ product line is the leader in underbody wheel lifts, showing up the competition at every turn. Despite its incredibly strong & durable construction, our Lil Hercules™ boasts a 5,000lb lift capacity, 10,000lb towing capacity, and a 70″ reach capacity, Our ultra-tough design allows for heavy duty workload from a lighter duty vehicle, without compromising the vehicle’s comfort. Our units enable its clients to kill 2 birds w/ one stone. Transforming their personal truck into a work truck at anytime they choose. $aving time is making $$$.

Tougher Build

The Lil Hercules™ features a 12 volt pump with an 8 minute duty cycle (that’s 4 TIMES stronger than industry standard issue). All of our pivot points are fabricated in-house, and constructed with our unique two-piece hexagonal nut-and-bolt design pin system, and our signature oil-infused bronze bushings. These require less maintenance than other pivot point systems, because the bushings literally sweat oil. Our pivot points are the strongest on the market, and will never corrode and freeze up. They last longer, require less maintenance, and are backed by a lifetime warranty. That means you spend your time on the road making money, instead of in the shop, paying for repairs.

Smarter Design

If you have a Lil Hercules™ or Herc-O-Matic installed on the back of your truck, you’ll enjoy our adjustable nut-and-bolt pivot pin. Instead of the traditional construction of a one-piece 1018 steel pin for the pivot head on a wheel lift, we use a two-piece, heavy-duty hexagonal bolt that can be tightened into its nut. That means not having to come into the shop and pay for service and replace that little pin every few years. Instead, as it loosens, you can quickly and easily give it an adjustment, and carry on carrying on.

The Beginning

In 2011, Detroit Wrecker came out with a response to the market’s need for a new underbody wheel lift that eliminated the most common problems affecting repossession wheel lift operators.The goal was to design an underbody wheel lift with a wide variety of improvements on the current industry standard design.We wanted to create a wheel lift that was up to the challenge, a workhorse of a wheel lift that could stand up to any task, and perform under pressure.The Lil Hercules™ is stronger, easier to maintain, and easier to operate than any other underbody wheel lift on the market.At Detroit Wrecker, the mission is always to set the standard for the industry, in the level of quality control, craftsmanship, and structural finesse of the unit.

The Design

We created a product line designed to address and eliminate the common flaws associated with traditional underbody wheel lifts, and gave it a name reflective of its strength and durability.The Lil Hercules™ series was born. Common flaws with traditional underbody wheel lifts include using thinner steel tubing for the construction of the unit, and skinny steel pins for the pivot points.These two issues often lead to the unit sustaining damage from corrosion, or buckling under the pressure of trying to move more weight than it can support.

The Improvements

Detroit Wrecker’s Lil Hercules™ products are built using 3/8 inch steel tubing, instead of the industry standard 1/4 inch tubing.But that’s not enough for us.We reinforce our steel tubing with another 3/16 inch of steel reinforcement, resulting in the strongest Tubes on the Planet!.That’s three times thicker than the tubing on traditional wheel lifts.Then we sandblast it & coat it with black powder coat to protect from corrosion. Like everything we build, our Lil Hercules™ products feature bigger diameter steel pins and our signature Bronze Oil-Lite bushings.These bushings are infused with oil, so they need less frequent maintenance, and, with proper care (greasing & Tightening) they will last a lifetime.Our Lil Hercules™ and Herc O Matic feature our adjustable nut-and-bolt pivot pin.It’s a two-piece, heavy-duty hexagonal bolt that can be tightened into its nut, instead of the traditional one-piece pin system that gets wears out quickly.What’s the difference?Our model is easy for you to adjust, so as it loosens, you can easily adjust it and tighten it! Instead of having to bring it in for service or replacement.

The Result

Our Lil Hercules™ and Herc O Matic are stronger, tougher, and work harder, for longer, than any other wheel lifts on the market.Their rugged design and structural reinforcementgives them the power to handle whatever you need to tow.You can watch a video of the Lil Hercules™ lifting another tow truck here.
