Wish I had the money for this

[Stephen Blair]

I wanted a wee one Stevie, something to go behind the landrover to pick up stems with to save disking up all the time.

there was a guy at the highland show who had a small crane with power pack on a road trailer, i think he was at the apf as well. looked excellent. i tried to buy one off the stand 2 years ago but he wouldnt sell it because he couldnt get it to work properly. he had just got it imported a few days before, so he was honest enough to not just sell me it untill he had it checked out. it had barn doors and you could add bolsters. the only thing was the weight, but it was only a landy that could legally cover the load. it was about 4k. they were canadian. his enquiry book was like the yellow pages. maybe someone here has a contact.

I've been browsing around for a second hand crane, with the intention of building a lightweight version of the botex that will carry 2 ton but it needs to be able to lift the full load in one stem close in.

 

It wouldn't take much to build a trailer and if I had any problems I'd just ring my mate Ed

 

Something like a lightweight one of these.

Those little Palfinger cranes I just sold could lift 330kgs at full lift.

 

I would ditch the trailer idea though, and put a small crane on the back of a small truck. mucho better.

I know what you are saying with the truck idea Ed but problem is it would be stood most of the time, it's not too often we have stems we can get to to lift, they're normally round the back.

 

A trailer wouldn't have the MOT, tax and insurance standing charges.

i found that the machinery finds the work. i do loads of jobs for builders and gardeners now, its another string to the bow. its amazing where you can get into if it is going to save a bit of handballing.

I used to use other folk for backhanders but you always had to work around them, or they would let you down.

but i think working round the landrover will limit the crane idea.

hey i could sell you a mog to go with my trailer.

If my landy broke down, I could have it back on the road the next day if not the same day
