Major Decision

Cool our booms will be twinsies

Haha yeah. This has been the most excited I've been about spending money (a lot of money).

What's the said and done cost for an average build like this chassis included? And build time?

 

[Carolinatreeco]

All good questions, price depends on crane size and options. So I looked at the pk4002 and pk5002. They fell between $237,000-290,000. Chassis well that's a whole other deal. New $140,000 used $39,000-$80,000 for decent looking trucks. Time to build I was told it only takes 4 weeks. But your in line with other truck builds. I'm hoping to get mine and the end of August putting me at 5 months.

 

[Steve Connally]

$60k for the cab and Chassis just under $300 for the build or around that. My boom is coming from Austria. I won't get the truck till December or January. Bad timing but I'm hopeful.

 

[Steve Connally]

Update on the truck. Currently in negotiations to have the dealer replace the spring packs on the front end. $1300 installed. Hope they do it.

 

[Carolinatreeco]

Steve are you going to have a dump body or flat bed?

 

[Steve Connally]

Flat bed. I have no desire to haul anything but me and my lunch box.

 

[Steve Connally]

I may look at a man basket once I get a little financial cushion. Have some guys in the holiday light installation biz who rent lifts all the time. Alternative income is good.

Word! Did I see you say yours is going to be 26-28' long?

 

[Steve Connally]

Yes. Fairly short. Rear mount. As short as I can get it.

 

[Steve Connally]

Wheel base will be 277"

 

[Carolinatreeco]

Yes. Fairly short. Rear mount. As short as I can get it.

Nice, at this point what's a couple of grand? Get it now. What's the price point on the basket?

 

[Steve Connally]

I haven't even asked. I should.......

 

[Jasonk]

Does anyone happen to have the load chart for the pk5002 at hand? We run a stick crane and though production is unbelievably high I feel like at some point this in inevitable and I need to start planning for it to stay ahead of the curve in my territory.....

Here is what I'm still trying to figure out on palfinger's chart, you can do 5100 at 48' without the jib...and 2200 on jib with main boom fully extended (and jib collapsed) at a total of 54'. What weight can you lift with the jib (when everything is fully collapsed)? Or is 2200 your max anytime using the jib.

My fassi chart has a value for that, but it seems palfinger doesn't.

I corrected myself, it's a PK40/PJ10.

If you look at shorter radii, the jib's max number is 7700lbs (also in the top right of both charts).

 

[Steve Connally]

There is a main boom chart but you reduce the weights by about 3100lbs for the jib. The jib actually comes off in no time at all for full capacity. Can't remember exactly but it's over 15000 lbs
