    "Small" Knuckleboom

    Re: \"Small\" Knuckleboom Think it's funny we are called a cult! And that's cool.......but we're really not a cult........JUST A BUNCH THAT LIKES TO GET A LOT OF TREE WORK DONE WITH ONE TRUCK.......and sometimes better than we could with 3 trucks :)

    Pruning Paradigms: Eternal Truth?

    Guy I think it depends on the tree..........and a lot of different factors about each particular tree. When I worked on the west coast it really had me up in arms when I saw 8" dbh eucs lopped back to nothing by knowledgeable arborists???? (and I mean just the trunk was left. Trees with no...

    85 ton Palfinger k-boom for sale

    No worries X......this truck wouldn't work for me anyway (mainly because it doesn't have decagonal boom sections......or other EFFER exclusive patents. :[] Your knuckle boom brand rating was slightly off.....it should have read like this: 1st EFFER, 2nd tie between palfinger/ Fassi maybe a few...

(obviously a spruce with the square needles but somebody couldn't figure that out when they...

    85 ton Palfinger k-boom for sale

    X brother I just want to know the overall length ? And U don't want to start a brand debate.......(wait .......I think I started it by proclaiming my EFFER status :) like I've said before if Effer went out of biz I would look elsewhere.

    85 ton Palfinger k-boom for sale

    I assume you could get 2 manual extensions for the jib too......so add about 10-14 ft with those.

    85 ton Palfinger k-boom for sale

    Chart shows about 92 feet high. And remember 80 feet on a kboom goes a lot farther on the job than 80 feet on a stick (this has been discussed years ago on this site)

    Might need the length for stability since the boom is mounted so far back.

    85 ton Palfinger k-boom for sale

    What is the overall length bumper to bumper? Don't lose the truck! Major clue here........Western Star uses the best steering gear.....that truck will do circles around other trucks that length (if it was spec'd out right) if it were an Effer I would pick it up my self.......(no I'm not B.S. 'ing :)

    Crane collapse in Elmwood Park, NJ

    Dbl612 .......dead on! You're not being redundant.....apparently we can't say this enough. And when we see the equipment fail its usually because it took a massive overload or shock or swing on a previous job. (sometimes we see structural failures with light loads)

    Sequence valves......easy fix. (usually located at the end of the pipe for that extension. I had to do one on the 55 ton a few years ago.)
