Is that Liebherr's new 60 tonner, mounted on a Kenworth? Is that a northamerican photo, or is it from overseas? Any idea what the MSRP is on that one?

And what about that 50 ton Manitex? you didn't say whether or not I put it in the wrong catagory.

its not a boom truck, its a truck mount crane. I've always considered a boom truck to have load carrying capabilities, they were designed to go somewhere, pick up a load, drive it to a site, then unload it for a real crane to set it.

I've got a 25 ton boom truck with a 92' boom, and a 46 jib. We lift a man basket with it at times. Whenever you're winched up to the top, and you look down the boom and it's crooked as a dog's hind leg...The basket is 2-3' off center of the boom...I'll admit it, I start to hole on tighter, and find myself wanting to kneel down in the basket.

The old 35 ton Grove though..Makes me feel much safer.

you sound like the MTO, if its got a hitch, its not a crane

our 22 tonner didn't have a hitch, they classified as a crane

Somebody screwed up there and you got off ..It can carry a load for Commercial purpose ..



If it doesn't have a plate its a Commercial Vehicle
If it has a plate ..its a Commercial Motor vehicle

If it towing a tag trailer ..its a Commercial Motor Vehicle

unplated Commercial Vehicles cant tow a plated unit ..
The towing unit must be plated ..

Thats how it was when I left ..that Province ..

No carry deck, no trailer hitch, no plate, no safety check, no emmisions, no speed limiter = Crane

BTW sorry if this is coming off as offensive, the intent is simply for debate.
