40Ton American at work
Yes the 40 t0n has a torque.it works well when you stall it a bit with another function,you can very precise when lowering or booming down.Its too bad theres such a stigma on conventional cranes on jobsites these days.You can rebuild them over and over,they burn very little fuel.and can... -

sorry I clicked too many times.And no the boom isn't bent,i put a link in the top pins to lower it a bit and stay underheight on the lowbed.Its an easy way to bring 10 more feet of boom to the site. -

The rocks look like a nail biter,nice job.Last airplane I did was a rush job off the barge,it was a Beaver that punctured a float on landing.They had a nice spreader hook setup that fit the aircraft.We lifted him up they used sika flex and tin to patch it as we held it.We dropped him back in... -

1966 P&h 215tc
Good to see these older machines still in use where you are.They are a hard sell out here in BC.Watch the carrier axles when your loading, after breaking and welding them a couple of times that was the demise of my 325 TC.I still have a jib ,two full booms,hydraulic outriggers,and a few things... -

A few random pictures
Nice looking setup on the dock job.Your right why hurry and be haywire when you charge by the hour.The jib on that conventional in the farmers yard looks unusual,are there no backstays or don't they show in the picture?never seen a cantilever jib on a conventional. Merry Christmas
