Knuckle boom mecanil operator needed.

[CanaryBoss]

We have a brand new PM 100 on a western star frame. It has a winch line and two different mecanil attachments. We are looking for an experienced crane/knuckleboom operator preferably.

We are willing to consider the idea of a seasoned climber whom we can train and get certified.

We are in Jacksonville Florida

PM me for details.

How do winch lines affect kbooms?

I used a block on my friend's 40' Kboom for a small, wide willow removal. He didn't figure there was some amount of force-multiplication. I did. His was a straight shot from upper boom to the block, and down, somewhat increasing his tip-load. He was good for 1850# straight out sideways at 40', and we were not picking anything big, so we were not pushing it.
