I really dont think this picture thing is working out to good for me...
Heres our Manitex 38124s And our 1956 Bucyrus Erie 22B And also our Komatsu LC755 can be seen here:
ointlaugh Is it just me or we seem to get a few of those " Dell tech support drop out" kinda guys, in the forum lately...???
Yes we do...
Ive run the similar Manitex ..mine didnt have the front jack ..the front wheel's had to be toched down to get 360 out of it ..other than that ..82-87% of the rated chart was as far as you would get before she would take a little dive .. Have you figured out why the Manitex Manbasket isnt supposed to be mounted with the Jib stowed yet ? LOL..dont ask ..even worse if you left the pins stowed ..
Yeah I can see how that would be a problem, but we don't own a jib though
Yeah ..even if you dont scope back and compound it ..the basket would get hung up on the pins ..not a good secene .. And yeah ..I had jib in that ol'one we had ..may as well be a piece of rubber for a boom ..

a few more...
There ya go JDM! Nice pics. :yup Man, I wish I could remember the number of bar joists I've set with a crane.
Kobelco 7080 lifting tiltwalls.
Assembly of Link-Belt LS-248 Hylab 5.
The jobsite was so tight we had to use the crane to self-erect the boom,all counterweights, and tracks all with a 10ft. rigging section.
The 2nd pic is across the harbor from where we put together the 248.
This is how most loads are hauled.
Heres the Link-Belt 248 or 238 (I forgot) Hylab 2 with luffing jib. Longboom should recognize this crane as hes put a few hours on it. :notworthy
One more. (Sorry for the horrible quality, these are from my phone.)
Great on a gravel road, not so great driving down the highway
that looks like a Grove boom with a Demag cab ...mounted to a Faun carrier ...... A PPM unit ?
You had it with the boom design! It's a Grove AT 865. Although at the time of manufacturer circa 1987 it was a Coles-Grove AT 865. I found the following picture on the Grove website. It was a pretty decent machine to run, equipped with a Loadwise LMI and the best part.... an air cooled Deutz diesel!
