Popular Post 29Bowtie Posted January 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Check out this completely restored crane truck From a local building supply business. This was the first truck the company bought, so owner wanted it back to new condition. Truck was at our head office dealership for A/C repairs recently. Sorry I don't have an under hood shot with lots of the parts chromed on the E9. Around our dealership it's referred to as "The Bumper" thanks to that giant chrome bumper!

Vladislav Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 105 tons sounds too much for that boom indeed. Even if they are short tons. 100 feet is a long arm though.

markpwhit Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Agree on the crane rating. 105 tons is a pretty good size crane especially for a knuckle boom. Guessing more like 25 tons.
