In the photo it is sitting off of its suspension. With a touch of a buton it jacks right up for road travel. Even neater is you can jack it higher in front or back it your going into a steep grade. I was really impressed when the sales rep showed me that. Good eyes brendonv, thats the first thing I noticed when I pulled up to it, and I immediately voiced my concern. Sales rep said this thing has all the bells and whistles! He was right.

Can it do that jumping thing like the low rider cars can do? Ha-ha..... What a great combination of compactness, manuverability, and power, plus it looks good!

Say, whereabouts in NJ are you? I'm from Bloomingdale. Started working at Bartlett out of Paterson in 1978. Then worked for Timberland in Towaco until I moved to Florida in 1983.

What is the lifting capacity of that? 60-65 tons or so?

[/ QUOTE ]

65 US standard ton

Is it made in Germany?

[/ QUOTE ] Yes it is. Wish is was made in the US. We are hoping to keep the 50 ton. It is paid for and does not cost much to operate other than ins., fuel, registration, maitance, etc. We are also trying to ramp up our rental division so would be nice when both cranes are out.

Awesome crane Cameron! Congrats, take lots of pics on its first job!

 

[cory]

The best cranes are made in Germany.

My daughter's in Philly. Maybe I'll come stalk you next time I'm up that way.

What's it gonna cost to build a garage for that thing?

 

[cory]

I think Cameron has car/truck ports for his stuff, nice option for keeping the equipment out of the weather.

 

[Adkpk]

Most importantly to be able to wax it on glummy days.

Question sent via PM.

 

[Daniel]

NICE... gonna take a lot of sawdust to pay for that rig.... And couple of good looking operators in training there too!

 

[cory]

Cranes like that don't generate much sawdust, most trees will be 3 picks!

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Looks like you made the right choice Cam. Give me a quote per day PM. I would live to help you pay for that.

Here was a big beech we were taking down today on the side of a ravine at about 125' of radius

 

[Rickytree]

Alittle surprised that the line on the side(don't know the name) is not wireless.

 

[BigWood]

Wireless = interference. Nothing like booming down and a wireless anti 2 block bringing the whole works to a screeching halt! Unless its the boom length cable, but I thought all the new terexs were internal. Either way I think I'm breaking a commandment, something about coveting another mans crane!

 

[BigWood]

Outrigger span, Cam?

 

[cory]

125' away?? WOW, that's awesome.

 

[Cameron]

Full span is 21.3'. It has an external ATB wire. It is not for boom length, that is all computer controlled. This was the one feature I was worried about. But so far because of the longer boom length, we have been up above the canopy of the trees and has not interfeared with the ATB Wire. Also I'm pretty sure its external due to the boom pinning system extending the boom lengths. It would be a real pain if it were internal and got hung up on something.
