Botex or Kesla crane?

[Joy Yeomans]

we have an old patu and a botex , rohan has used the mowi cranes from fuelwood and they are a good simple crane, patu is yonks old and still brill. botex are good but a bit overrated sometimes as there are definately others to consider out there.

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/48607-amazing-what-botex-can-do-4.html some comments here from others re botex , it depends what you want from a crane, big lift , more reach manual spool valve/ electro hydraulic ,

 

Thanks for that, more reach over lift and electro control wood be good

Kronos Jake mounted can be as good or better than roof mounted and matched to Kronos with their other fittings possibly one of the best

Not as good as a roof mount, after a few hours you forget it's there tbh!

I am mostly loading a trailer so it's all out to the side when looking for stuff.

If you were crane feeding directly behind I would think you would get a creak in your neck !

[Consider carefully what you want and need costs can be high but from my experience not getting it right to start off with can cost more in the long run, look at the options go see them working and speak to the operators / owners, if you want give me a call come and have a look ( mk7 )
