Can't believe so man don't have rotating carriage!

[Speedpup]

While looking at machines I never thought so many don't have a rotating carriage. I use mine to juggle the load some times. Then if something is not sitting level how do you grab it? I find it invaluable. Thoughts or you run a machine without that option?

All our gradalls don't have that option. Our pittiful Cat TH63s have it though.

Its really not all that bad. If you really need some angle you can tilt the whole machine left or right.

yea but that may not be enough at times and it takes longer.

It's not the same thing at all!
By the way we're noticing an increasing request of rotating carriage telehandlers. Maybe people has discovered how good they are!

I think this is the ultimate rotating "carriage". I had the opportunity to ride up in the man basket attachment of one of these at Connex a few years ago, very interesting machine.

Oh, so you're from Alabama! How're things over there?
I was there a couple of weeks ago and I noticed a lot of large squares full of unsold machines.

It was quite scaring!

This thing is almost a RT crane. Just add a winch line and you're there.........

Work is extremely slow as it is everywhere else. There is alot of equipment sitting idle and for sale. The dealers have overflowing inventory on both new and used machines. You can get a great deal on a machine right now the problem is there is very little work for it.

Looks like they make some sort of attachment.

 

[albertozordan]

Yes, it's normal to provide any sort of attachement for that kind of machine. Or best, we normally do.

I have been trying to buy one of those Manitous for years and can never find one cheap. I ran one about 3 years ago and fell in love. They make wireless remotes, man basket, winch, pat system like a crane, they will do pretty much anything. The only problem is they are very big (not maniverable) and heavy about 40000 lbs i think
