Arlo and Skyhook Cranes

[Kman]

Anybody out there that has used or are using either an Arlo or Skyhook crane?As I recall the Arlo's where built in Peekskill,NY.Growing up I would ride my Honda XR-75 to the local tree guys shop and marvel at his custom built 100' Arlo.It had a Perkins 4 cyl diesel that powered the crane units hydrualics(most were electric).I would love to see some pictures of these rigs doing tree work.

Ive seen them used around here. In my opinion they are way too small for tree work. It would be more cost effective to use modern equipment such as grcs and portys to do the same work.
