Both these cranes are still knocking out work! The 55 ton and the 175 ton. I’m adding a grapplesaw too sometime this year. I won’t use it all the time but I think in certain jobs it will be handy.

What brand grapple saw?

I love this thread! Just read the whole thing. Drives my wife crazy. I think if I didn’t have a pm100 being delivered this week I would be too jealous to read it.

I’m a little nervous. Oh my God I have done so much crane work! I’m 32 and was a lead climber at 18 doing crane work. Never have I ever used a knuckleboom though(except for a couple minutes demoing). Anyway, keep the pics coming Mike.

It’s amazing what the 33 will do

@CanaryBoss your world is about to change. K booms are the bomb. Post up a pic of your chart when you have a chance. I also am interested in getting a brochure made I have a bunch of pics but my crane is red not blue. lol

CanaryBoss · May 4, 2019

Here are the charts. Doesn’t matter what color your kboom is. It matters that it conveys the message of what they are capable of. Once your hired and show up, nobody is gonna say, “wait a minute, that things blue. You tricked me. Get out of here.” They are just going to think it’s awesome-cause it is!

I was joking about the color. They are all awesome. Like Ford Vs Dodge Vs Chevy in the end they are all pickups.
What heads did you get with it.

What was the final deal on the weight and what Florida allowed?

CanaryBoss · May 4, 2019

Here she is. Or he is rather. It’s name is Megatron.

Screw the pics! We want a video of you running it for the first time when you smack the cab and rip off a stack! No flatbed?! Goodluck to you! Cool truck, looked at it for a LONG time on their website. Crazy they built a truck that big and expensive without a buyer first.

CanaryBoss · May 4, 2019

Shoot man I don’t how to turn that thing on. Trying to keep the weight down. I support my tree crews with the truck. They have the mats and cribbing. That way they can set up before I get there and break down after I leave. Less time on site for me!
