North America's largest grapplesaw truck

[GrapplesawTrucks]

I had the pleasure of seeing this in person a few weeks ago in California... amazing to see! 170 feet of vertical reach with a Mecanil SG280 grapplesaw.

The cutting n gripping head must be to some degree passive and self orienting, I assume?

They won’t put you out of a job Jon. Just make the big uglies a bit more , well, less big uglies. I’m all for them. Only problem will be training good operators. One of our competitors bought a ka-boom with the grapplesaw and (hoping I’m wrong) think it’ll be either flipped over or do major damage within the year.

It'll be interesting to see which of the two are most durable n long lived.

K-Booms or telescoping stick cranes?

My money's on the sticks!

Time will tell the story.
