Well, I just won that new-in-crate LMHC on GL. Now I just need to figure out how to get it home, haha. I am sure this'll be a project.

Don't be, it went for more than I was willing to spend.

$3000 was as much as I was willing to go in for. If this didn't pan out I was going to buy a Liftmoore L-21 new, and so I wasn't into bidding more than the commercial equivalent... course I have no idea if the LMHC is complete. I think the power cable is missing for sure. I just hope the winch is in one of those cardboard boxes!

You fartknocker! lol First one I've seen. Yeah, I was following that but went for too much than I valued it at. For the money a better and cheaper one can be made by originality can't be beat.
BTW, can you post a thread when you mount it on your rig? Seems all that is on the net is the kindergarten-quality drawings in the M1078 Dash-10.
Would have been nice for post-hurricane neighborhood recovery. But, I need an M2HB and a hundred Scepter fuel cans to complete my rig before the crane....
The attached pic of a BAE SOCOM War Pig Gun Truck appears to have one mounted in right rear corner of the bed.

Yeah I'll update when I get it all together, and take a ton of pictures. I haven't found ANY pictures from owners - just the fuzzy mil stuff and the drawings we've all seen.

Doesn't artisan have one on his truck? I thought he had documented it pretty well too.
I'll look for a link to post when I get home.

I just ran across this place that sells used and refurbished truck cranes when looking up the liftmoore unit mentioned by the OP. It looks like they have decent prices and don’t sell junk. They state all cranes in full working order with new remote. They are not far from wreckerman in Gadsden. They have a nice little 1500 lb liftmoore for $1,200 listed.

So after seeing a few people in here have had success with fast track logistics for getting GL lots I gave them a call. I was kind of stressed about getting the lot picked up - I've never bought from GL before - but they were super friendly and just took care of everything. And the quote for the shipping was less than I had in my head. Long story short, the crane should be out here in PHX in not too long.
From the pics I'm telling myself that the cable to go from the circuit breaker box to the NATO slave port on the truck is missing - I think I saw it in another picture of a crate I saw on instagram - but who knows I guess. If that's all that's missing I can't complain. Fingers crossed that the rest of the crane is complete...

And... UPS lost the crate. 60x40x25 550 lbs :/
It's like the universe conspires to keep these things rare.

How do you lose a crate the size of a lawn tractor?

It turned up, along with a wheel I was looking for. I have to say - wow. What a dream come true. It looks like this one is ~12 years old. I had no idea if it would be complete, it was. When I opened the crate a lot of the boxes were wet and molded but when I opened them I realized each contained another vacuum sealed bag and another box. So everything was pristine and perfect. Like opening a time capsule.
It says two man lift but I was able to assemble it myself, but I'm a pretty big guy. A big tip I have for this is put the turrent adapter onto the boom FIRST then lift the entire assembly and place it onto the upright. If you try to do it the other way around it's an exercise in frustration. Also they CARC'd everything and the holes were only the right I.D. before the paint, so you really have to bang the things together at first. Once the paint comes off it's more reasonable.
Powered right up. So cool! I had some worries about clearances and whatever (especially w/ the top and bows) because there is so little information about these things, but everything clears perfectly, including the winch. With the boom at full extension it fits perfectly horizontally across the bed.
