Popular Post 66dc75 Posted February 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2017 Customers keep sending me bigger and heavier signs to put up and my old 45 year old Skyhook sign crane wasn't always quite up to it. So onto the interwebs I went, every crane I called about locally seemed to get sold the day before I called. A crane dealer one town over had this one on their website but it turned out they were just doing a courtesy ad for a customer and the truck was in Bloomfield Ohio. Made some calls found a local mechanic to look at it (he turned out to be a founding member of BMT small world, huh?) got a loan and a driveaway company and it showed up last night. I really wanted a single axle R model crane truck but they are non existent so the KW is a good runner up. Seems like most of these are on F800s with rust issues. Now I can go pick things up and put them down. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48799-addition-to-the-fleet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich- sounds like a home run-hard to believe that is a 99. And an owner operator in what I would call light duty-residential roof trusses! Take it easy getting used to it. See too many of these tree guys around here who either don't look at their charts or don't think they need bigger pads on the ground!

66dc75 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Fired up the vinyl plotter yesterday and put some lettering on it. One of these days I'm going to learn how to hand letter and stripe. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48799-addition-to-the-fleet/#findComment-363214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
