    Impact's "Things Done at Work"

    What's it weigh??

    Not knocking what you did in the least. I’ve overloaded every rig I own multiple times. Especially the boom trucks and small truck cranes. The AT cranes concern me a bit more when overloading them because I never see the rig get light on the outriggers (tipping). Almost always a structural...

    The first 1055 is a couple years old. Everyone seems to love it. It stays so busy I can never use it on my work. I’ll probably sell the Grove TMS700 as it’s starting to show her age. Who knows, I may just keep it too
