Hes at the max on his chart for amount of boom he has out, and he cannot swing either way due to obstacles on either side

Looks sharp! I like the usefulness of the house lock pin. It makes 0 degree pick and carry so easy....certainly better than depending on a computer in a 30ton Terex RT

Actually its location requires that it get constant lubrication ..Diesel or trans oil ..were my friends..
Cant see it all..but I do belive that ,that unit also as a 360 positive house lock ..a crows foot that engages the ring gear ..that combined with the electric swing lock ..makes for a decent unit to wiggle around ..
