[Kman]

AWESOME RIG!!!! Congrats Mark! I also like those tool boxes in the corner gussets,great thinking.I like the reach you have into back yards with that unit.Does it have a computer that telss the weight of the picks?Did you sell your old crane?

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

Did you get the wireless remote controls like Mike Poor? (I didn't catch that if so).

 

[allmark]

Kman:I still have the old crane for sale; The new one doesnt have a read out telling you the weight but does have an overload system
Jamin I do have the remote control

Mark, Great looking truck you put together. The picks from that back yard were impressive. I know it took a long time, but it must feel great now!!!!!! Keep the pix and video coming. Best of luck.

Dooley No problem. Got any pics?


Here is the whole process of building my crane. The footage of the crane build was done in Bologna Italy at one of Effers factories. The body was built in Ohio at Smith Cranes and Crane mounting was done there.

Real cool!!

 

[FTS]

That was GREAT!

 

[MikePoor]

Nice video Allmark, Neat to see the whole process! (The music fit perfect too.) How's it working for ya'? (When i bought my first knuckleboom, i thought i'd use it on about 60 percent of my jobs. With the extra side reach & boom angle advantages, i found i could use it on about 80 percent of jobs!)

Its working great. Its at international getting some things taken care of on the truck.I used the old one today and already miss the new one.

 

[Colin]

[Mark Chisholm]

Mark,

You and Mike are making me think about trading up to this:

 

[Riggs]

Yo Mark , that video was as good as a football game . I Liked the song and the whole deal . Good luck with the truck n I hope you smash a lot of trees with it . What is the life expectancy for a crane/truck like that , just curious because , I know a truck like that is worth some coin.

 

[allmark]

Mark, I say go for it. The boom color is great!

Riggs, I expect it to go until retirement unless I decide to upgrade in 7-10 years. My last crane was a 1979 and still working good. If they arent operated at max all the time and well maintained they should last forever.
