No it is just a photo of a Coleman re-cabbed with a Ford cab with a Coleman steer drive axles I found on the web. Sorry.

Darn. I had big plans. I mean my friend had big plans.

Anything with Coleman drive gear is tough to find and collectable to the right person.

Based on that Saddle, may be that ?Peace? or other officer with the square cap on.

First ever DOT cop.

Doc appointment for elbows this morning
Passed this yahoo, door swinging free one Whole 4” strap attaching that Conex almost to that refugee of a salvage lot trailer on I70 headed east. Columbia MO

That is early day DOT weigh cop, fourth mule lost a left rear shoe. Out of compliance.
Coop in the back ground, trying to figure what to charge on toll road. They had those
back then.

 

[DMiller]

Had to pay to grade mud even then!!

Trailer above is a sliding axle system, allows the trailer bed to become a ramp to slide on or off those loads. Had a winch on nose, NOT connected to Conex, just that single strap.

They deliver those rental containers all the time.Who are we to question their professionalism?

It got a tire, and you can see broken boards under the steers in the second picture.

I would guess it weighs somewhere around 12-15,000. Its a old hyster "karry krane" .

 

[Truck Shop]

That's a big crane'r.

 

[crane operator]

Its for sale - I was impressed with the ratchet strap tie down methods.

I've never run a karry krane, but we used to have two old hyster forklifts about the same age as that- and they were indestructible. Flathead continentals. One was clutch and the other was a automatic. The clutch one had a three speed and would go way faster than you should ever drive one.

Any forklift steer is the devil.
I borrowed my friend's trailer to move Luigi, before I went to work for this outfit and put on the apitong deck. That trailer can take a forklift.
I had some 2x6 steel channel and ripped some boards to fill them in, to bridge the frames on the borrowed trailer.

We had a well known local guy get killed that way. Loaded a forklift on a deckover and when he tightened a binder, a tire broke through the deck and it tipped over on him.

That's about a Flintstone POS. Must be the one that killed Fred and Barny. Which caused me to pause,
and look at some photos I posted under my {Old Crawler} thread. Second to last photo on the dock
in the back ground is one of those Hyster "Karry Kranes". Those photos were taken in 1956 and puts
that tricycled POS in the late 40's. Steve a friend of mine lost his uncle when a old Gerlinger tricycle
pile rolled over throwing him off, the mast crushed his head.

 

[DMiller]

Gonna Say the Tongue weight on trailer for that Crane MIGHT be pretty Excessive!!

 

[56wrench]

Its always sad when people get killed in slow rollovers. Tricycle anything can be dangerous in the wrong conditions

 

[skyking1]

row crop tractor anywhere but a flat ditch irrigated field.

Rolled in for tire change on steer axle… Got the tire off and the driver is dicking around in the cab with no jack stands underneath… Accidents waiting to happen here, ”but this is how we always done it, never had a problem before”
