more fun with knucklebooms

[KnuckleboomTrader]

Nice truck, congrats!

 

[Steve Connally]

Impressive rig to say the least

Here’s my chart. That’s without my manual job extension I think

The bottom chart shows your jib with 6 hydraulic extensions and two manual extensions.

I see a winch on it. Looks like its mounted on the lower boom. The cable runs up the entire boom? Have you used it yet? A knuckle boom and a cable, best of both worlds. I hadn't seen a kb with a winch yet.

Here's a video showing the winch being used with a knuckleboom for tree removal

Here she is. Or he is rather. It’s name is Megatron.

Nice truck. You going to tow with it?

 

[CanaryBoss]

What was the final deal on the weight and what Florida allowed?

It weighs 64. Was supposed to weigh 60. Florida allows 61. I’ll have to get a permit

Yes but only traveling in to do hurricane work

Hmm..put the grapple saws on a separate truck, and always run it empty. Do you guys run a fuel truck?

Only in storms. The permit is only 300 a year here. No biggie.

Things seem to be going better in my dealings with BIK. Owner called me today and we had a nice conversation. I understand why the weight was different now.

From what I here, you can only can get a winch that runs with the boom on a PM crane. FYI

PM is a crane brand.

Yes

interesting. When I denied efffers, alter told me I couldn’t get one. I hear alter just bought them out.

I have heard excellent things about effer cranes, I just didn’t like their grapple at all. That and the info I heard about the winch, made me go with PM

I didn't care for the gmt saw either. Palfinger built that part of the setup for me

Stupid auto correct;
When I demoed effers, altec told me I couldn’t get one(a winch). I hear altec just bought them out.
