Hiab knuckle boom crane

[gimpyrobb]

Going to inspect a crane this weekend. If it works like he says it does, I will be bringing it home. Its at a place where they know nothing about it other than it "works". Is there anywhere I can find info on model #s? Most of my searches are dead ends. I know it will lift 7klbs @ 6ft and 2400lbs @ 16. It has its own power source, so I need not worry about PTOs or hydraulic pumps.

Your not going to join the line of "Hang chevytruck by the wrecker!!" are ya?

Nah, thinking of mounting this one on a trailer. I will have a drop side bed on it too.

Don't bother to send it here for your genhead. I acquired a chainfall. Looks like you could lift your house with that.

Good size crane Gimp, the older models are not easy to find spec for, my '75 HIAB is a 765A model and I can only find info on similar models, like 780AW. Look for the model # on the crane pedestal. The tags will give a lot of info also.
Another self contained unit, that's great...

Self powered unit eh? Does it have outriggers?

Gimp, what could you possibly use a HIAB crane for?

 

[cranetruck]

This is not a HIAB, but similar in size to what you describe.

Try CARGOTEC in Swanton OH for help on HIAB cranes.

Maybe you should mount it to the deuce to make your truck self-righting?

Kenny, of the 4 pics I got, the pic of the base was too close to tell if it has them. I requested more pics that include the controls, base and motor, but I will be there Sat, so I will have my own pics soon.

Gimp...that sorta kinda looks like the crane on BFR's truck...he gave me the data plates and some literature on it....except it is PTO powered.

If you want anything let me know.

From some info DH found me, I think its a Hiab 550. The weight and distance(capacities) are the same. This one has the bonus of a hydraulic rotator and a set of pallet forks on it.
