crane for unimog

[roelife]

hi guys

i have a unimog 1700 with a muller meittal trailer with and atlas 80 crane mounted on the trailer, it has only got a 7m reach, i am looking to mount a remote control fold up crane on to the unimog, any advice on what suits it best, and if anybody has rough costs of doing such a job???

thanks

you will need a crane chassis that fits on the x frame otherwise the chassis cant twist prob best to speak with Alex price for the tech stuff

I have got a couple of Atlas 3008 cranes , they are off 8 wheel grab wagons , both piped for rotators i want £1000 each for them if one of them is any good

you'd be a lot cheaper to just swap the crane and leave it on the trailer.

 

i have a crane just behind the cab on my mog. yes its handy but it wont reach the back of me trailer (to lift on from the rear).

 

also remember your mogs wheel base is that short that the support legs may not support it enough when you lift infront of the cab

 

i take it you dont chip into the back as it really wont hold much with a crane on:001_smile:

cheers guys

david no i dont use the back for chipping in i was hoping to convert the back purely to carry a crane, for example a 15m palfringer fold up??

i bought the mog from alex price but hes a hard man to get hold of an very expensive as i am in ireland.

any other options???
