(OP)
we have a manlifter in our company but we are confuse why is it the front wheel is bigger than the rear wheel. and the rear wheel are double tire. we want to know what is the possible reason why the design is like this?





RE: manlifter
If so the dual wheel is probably for traction.
The large wheel might be for getting over an uneven floor.

After some more thought on the matter, I'd be inclined to agree with unclesyd's conclusion that it is probably to give it drive-advantage.

A picture would be useful.

I think the story here is that the large front wheels are the Nissan OEM size.
The back wheels may well be doubled up simply because that's how the chassis was before the bodybuilders got to it (it's not unusual to see doubled rear wheels on a van - it allows the thing to carry a greater load).
I suspect part of the bodybuilders' new top hamper has intruded into the original wheel arch space so they've had to fit smaller rear wheels in attempt to restore some of the clearance.

RE: manlifter
Whoever did the conversion probably found it was cheaper to get the smaller double tires in than to try to fit the bigger ones. Plus those yo-yo's in the back can probably hold more weight than the originals.
Is that thing even road-legal?

RE: manlifter
The wide drive wheels are obviously to take the extra load from the boom, bucket and hydraulic drive. As far as the front wheel it appears to make the truck slightly unleveled--definitely a Rube-Goldberg contraption during the retrofitting.
