I've had a Gradall 534D 9-45 for a couple years and it has worked flawlessly, never had a problem with it. It was never maxed out as far as it lifting capacity. It saw fairly light duty from me. I sold it recently and the first day the buyer had it he was picking up a concrete culvert. He has no idea what culvert weighed but he says it picked it up ok when he had about one section of boom extended. He tried to retract boom with weight of culvert and snapped the cables in the boom. Along with that it appears it ripped up some hoses also as it is now leaking fluid a lot. My question is are telehandlers designed to retract the the boom with weight on them? He said only one section was extended and the boom was horizontal.
Obviously he is looking to me to fix as he only owned it for a day. I have a feeling this is going to be quite costly. Any idea what it may be (cost wise) to fix? Thanks
