I like the way it can ride over a cab over Frame. But so can the up equip model.

You mean jack it up in the air and back the truck under it? Use it lifted just above the truck on job site or transport back in as a spider lift?

They are nice I have the cmc spider 78ft the only thing I don’t like about mine is the fact that it will only come don to 20ft above ground . We’re the 83 you can work from the ground up and down below grade. Winter time is fun when the sensors start to freeze

Do the sensors freeze due to being cold? Is it due to snow melting and freezing? We garage keep the lift and are crane plus it’s heated. The rest of the equipment is under car type ports.

Mine is kept out side covered with a tarp. But they just freeze up on there own from moisture. For example you will travel to a job roads are wet get to a job go to put the out riggers down and it won’t or 3 will one of the roller sensors will have some ice on it. You will get to know what to check when things won’t work. Just minor stuff just a pain in the ass to learn

The switches are all weatherproof and weather should not be a problem. However, it is important to keep them greased. We recommend spraying a little grease on the switches as often as you wish, or at least every 1 month depending on how often you use the machine.

On the 78, more maintenance was indeed required to keep things operational. That was one of the things we fixed on the 83HD+ Arbor Pro, to make sure that it was as simple as possible we removed a lot of switches and other problem areas. We may also have upgraded switches available for the 78, so if you are having a problem today, please call us and we can help!

I considered getting a spider lift but the reach we need here to make it worth getting is 120' that puts us into pretty unrealistic prices, compared to what we can competitively charge for the jobs. I am also taking into consideration, that they need servicing and we live in central BC where there are no service providers to my knowledge? You still need all the other toys too, chipper, chip truck and another truck to haul spider lift. We already own a bucket truck so it would merely be an addition. Hard to justify the expense?

i have two tracked lifts. 72’ and 90’. I’m happy with my machines. I built custom trucks to haul them and now I don’t have to try to turn trailers around in tight places, plus they are great for business.

I produce and sell these trucks if you know anyone that’s interested.

The minimum height of crawler that would be useful here would be 120’. Would that fit?

I can build the truck to the specifications I would use a different format for it but I can still make the truck fit with a skid a Lift and plywood. I would need to know some exact dimensions or what model you’re using and I would also need to know what type of skid you’re using. I can build one for full-size bobcat. It’s a different price point though I need some information from you so that I can give you a roundabout number
