    240 Liebherr- LTM 1200/1 Oil Pressure in the lower

    The oil pressure indicator is showing no oil pressure in the lower of our LTM 1200/1, the oil filters are on top of the engine which we replaced with new filters and they are getting plenty of pressure to the filter, but the indicator remains the same. Any suggestions?

    I need a Crane Mechanic's help, please!

    I would agree that there isn't a lot of support, at least, that's what I'm finding out. Unfortunately, y'all are so stinking busy there isn't a whole lot you can do about it either! Given my experience with this, I have started talking with manufacturers to see what we can do about it...

    I need a Crane Mechanic's help, please!

    Thank you Knepptune! I certainly think that training up a mechanic would be the easiest and probably best route. Unfortunately, we do not have any crane mechanics in our staff to do the training :( I have had a lot of heavy equipment mechanics apply that seemed promising, but the CEO and COO...

    I need a Crane Mechanic's help, please!

    Thank you Crane Operator! I really appreciate your insight! Unfortunately, we have had a couple of bad and very costly experiences with using techs from Honnen. To be clear, I don't want to bash anyone. The circumstance here is that crane mechanics are in very short supply and incredibly...

    I know this is a really old post, but I'd love to hear what people are using now? We've used Service M8, but are experiencing some issues with it. Ideally, we want something that will link up to our Quickbooks.

    What was your best form of advertising in 2016? What to expect for 2017?

    Now that it's 2018 what do you all use/think? Our business currently relies heavily on reputation and word-of-mouth. However, we are working very hard on our social media campaign and building our website up. Our reputation is predominately related to oilfield work, but we'd like to expand our...

    Hello, I am new to this forum, so thank you for having me! Also, I hope I don't break a rule about posting here for this (I read the rules, and didn't see anything specific, but I could have missed something). Anyway, I hope to contribute a lot more, but my initial purpose in joining your...
