    Today's Job

    Well Treevet, yesterday I did some tree work, bush work anyway. I had to unload some hollow core concrete floor panels off the semi and set them into place on a foundation. A Manitex 40124SHL (40 ton, used as an example as I have it's chart on my smartphone) could have set them from the...

    No, and that big boy pants comment made me spill my coffee, thanks I guess! Looking at the charts of both, there would have been no advantage with the 30 ton Manitex over the 22, on THIS job. Then again, the 30 could have done it as easy also, so I get your point. But tomorrow I am looking at...

    Today's Job

    I got all of that, along with no mention of the power lines! No CG of the load though, but after lifting it off the trailer (using the load chart for fully retracted outriggers due to the narrow site, reaching over the end of the trailer put me out of my chart, so I got nice and close sideways)...

    BIG generator, not a Briggs and Stratton powered one but CAT. Not sure on kilowatt output, but it weighs 9,200 lbs. I'm thinking if I can position the crane just right, I can do it with a low enough boom angle while still staying more then 10' from the wires. I'm not sure how high they are...

    Today's Job

    I got a call from an out of state outfit, wanting to schedule me to offload and set a 9K backup generator at a Home Depot store about 50 miles away. Unable to get any heads up about access from the guy (he's in Connecticut), I jumped in the (homebuilt) plane and got this shot. See that...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    It'd be nice if I could pick and choose, but the Peterbilt and Manitex boys have some set deals they like to push, or at least that's the way it seems. A 10 speed Eaton Fuller with the PX-9 380 hp engine seems to be what they are geared up for, pun intended. I'm sure once they get a package...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    Driving up off camber dirt/icy roads, driving 3 hrs travel in one day, like today, when all I was picking was 2500 lbs 25' away. Then on the way back had to drive through town, with several quick stops and then getting back up to speed. Today a high horse power 101 would have shined. Then...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    I had to bow it a bit! The odd little Yaris has THREE good sized glove boxes, with all the gauges mounted dead center, and several other small stash areas, really a cool weird little car. It has come to my attention that the Manitex 30112S has multiple counterweights, 1750, 2000, and 2250 lbs...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    CTM: I think you're jamming me about the small size of the Yaris, but yeah that was part of the challenge! The straps and rounds slings will stow under the seat (the drivers seat being the only one remaining for this trip), and that light weight spreader bar is 74" long, so no problem, I've...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    I sold the 101 to a buddy in Arizona, got a down payment anyway, and I will soon put a down payment down on the new one (22101S or maybe the 30112S, all depends on how the pricing works out) part of the deal is that I will deliver the 101. I figured out a way to safely pick my Toyota Yaris so...

    twisted cable

    I'll soon be seeing some of the people I gifted with some of my old slings, I'll be sure to either demand them back, or maybe cut them so they are useless, or demand that they sign a release that I will hire a lawyer to draw up. Just kidding, that ain't going to happen, ever. I'll take my...

    twisted cable

    Wow, must be a lot of lawyers where you are at! The day I cut up my old rigging instead of giving them to someone for a tow strap or whatever, will be the day I stay home in bed with the covers up over my head. I'm in Idaho, and the people I choose to gift with my old rigging I am pretty sure...

    twisted cable

    Spooky. BTW, farmers love old crane wire rope for fencing and other ranch uses, I've even sold it in the local ag paper. I also gave away several of my slings this year, some as Christmas presents, (!) that I deemed less then perfect but still darn good for tow straps. Having a good second...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

But yes, it is the currently supplied remote for the pilot controlled Manitex's they are building today. I have the option of paddle controls V. joy sticks, any thoughts...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    There's a 28102S Manitex in North Carolina I still see being advertised all over, 165K real low time. Over a year ago I called the private party who listed on CraneNetwork, and he laughed and said he'd sold it over a year ago! Not his fault I guess, Machinio does the same thing, anew 22101 in...

    Manitex 22101S FOR SALE

    I have been so busy I have not bothered to pursue selling my rig, all I did was post here. I have checked into what new cranes cost (22 and 30 ton Manitex riders, new) and have gotten a real wakeup call there. One dealer I was talking to about a trade in mentioned mine was worth 150K as a...
