175 Ton Knuckleboom

MikePoor · Jan 31, 2009

another photo. The load cell readout box shows the weight of the pick. I wish it showed peak force like a dyno

S'more. setting the top down in the drive, between the trees and couldn't swing toward the lines (look at all the insulators) kept the main boom angle low to stay well away from wires & ran the jib knuckle 20 degrees over center to clear the house

Mike

Great photos!

What is the outrigger spread on that unit?

What is the total weight driving down the road?

You can pick 1000lbs at 130' radius, what height is your hook at?

BostonBull · Jan 31, 2009

This is saying your good for 258K lbs @ 80'......or am I reading it wrong?

1750

Edit

Link died. Got to http://www.effer.it/ click products, then truck cranes, then 1750 under model tab in middle of page. The bottom 1750 l8s chart is what I clicked on

HÖLLENREICH · Jan 31, 2009

I belive thats 2,580lbs at 80'

At 80 foot radius my crane is good for 6600 lbs (or more) I picked this pine log at 80 feet the other day (it felt like a toothpick) Hey Bostonbull, the hook height for that pick could be 2 feet or 40 feet without noticing much difference

Nice Mike!! It looks a bit cold there, with your guy bundled up like that.

BostonBull · Feb 1, 2009

Thanks Mike. I am trying to see what Boom truck/Truck Crane/AT Crane your new unit most compares to. KBooms are new to me.

Hey Boston Bull,
Keating Tree out of Swampscott uses a big K_BOOM.. I happened to driving one day and see them use it. It was pretty cool..

DOOLEY · Feb 4, 2009

I would love to see more pics, do you have web site for you company, I couldn't find one with goggle or anything.

MikePoor · Feb 22, 2009

Tree Buzz visitors are always welcome (o.k. most of them) A few more photos

MikePoor · Feb 22, 2009

These picks had to be "cut to fit" in the tight landing zone (under the trees lining the driveway)

MikePoor · Feb 22, 2009

The spiderlegs helped hold the pieces to slip under the trees/obstacles(couldn't set the picks in the street-too busy) Loading logs was a little tricky too

MikePoor · Feb 22, 2009

Picking them was easy! (this photo shows playing with jib angles etc.

Jamin_Mayer · Feb 22, 2009

Thanks for the added photos Mike! That last photo: I can see you made the pick and then extended the jib. Hence, the playing with the jib...

How far does your jib extend?
