I am not selling it.search 'lowering device" there are some pictures there

i have a harken 46 with a custom made carrier. When i was climbing we used it alot for lifting branches etc. however i then made a bollard to slide into the carrier and the harken is now sat on a shelf getting bored. I doubt its been used in 5 years

yeah thats my truck.. Purchased from Walkabout services in Queensland. If you want to see crane porn lookup their facebook page. I dont use that grab on there anymore we set it up on a 8 ton Volvo loader instead ,to make a somewhat larger version of a BMG. The mecanil grab saw rotator and manual extension was supplied by Cam and we fitted a Cejn quick attach ourselves and got a local engineering shop to make a 45 degree jib. Cost close to 50k when finished

That is a salty the bloke doing the talking is Matt Wright a professional croc catcher i imagine its one of his pets

Small world. That truck came from Broome just a little bit down the road from me. We have a Progress effer 305 with a grab saw but originally set it up with just a grapple. It was already piped for the jib but also required an addon electrical box to be plugged into the electrical socket where the jib would normally go and also had to be fiddled with from Italy via TeamViewer. Lots of mucking about. It may depend on what electronic control system you have as well, progress is more complicated than DMU .You are best talking to your local Effer dealer but you may encounter some disinterest if they did not set up the crane originally.

the quoted price at the time (2013) was 50k less than anything available in Oz on the market then. i thought at the time the dealer had made a mistake with the price so i locked it in by giving them a 5k deposit. It took 6 months or so to arrive from Italy

i have owned the first Cela DT24 to be brought into Oz for quite a few years now.Has now 900 hrs on it We had a lot of mystery faults in the early years with it and had to replace the main board in the basket and all the rubber cable connections at the basket as well. Apparently there was some form of a recall for the connection parts but i had to find out about them myself and pay for the parts as well. Backup was non existent and really not helped either that the dealer was over 3000 klms away. it still has random fault codes appearing now and then but i have a work around them (very simple but im sure loler would not like it). I would think Cela have sorted all the faults by now and when it works it is a great lift and i doubt there would be another lift that could match the speed at which you can move the boom plus the 14 metre up and over is great. What ever lift you go for make sure all parts are available Price wise it was really cheap in comparison to a similar sized lift (CTE ,Platform Basket)

Change the wheel to Rhino. My experience with the original wheel was not good.Bolts would shear alot

the only mistake i can see is that the reach is too short .I hope you are getting a manual section as part of the package .It is definitely required to keep the expensive stuff from getting squashed

Yep its the high speed that i like on mine and the safety aspect as well

you would be better off with a cnc router. Lots of good kits in USA available. much cheaper Look up CNC router parts

Cant go past Schaffer quality .Got over 3500 hours on my 2026 now

dont know about in the uk but here in Oz i can get that sort of stuff from the local tractor /engineering shop.

I would not be able to get rid of the machine in good conciseness and also i live in a remote area. My manual has my model number on the inside cover page but the whole book itself is generic and mostly covers other models, is yours the same? Mine also has the 'crane' hook but only 230kg on it. We have a proper crane so i have never used it

very. Cela now do a 40 metre light truck mount with 17 metre outreach and up and of height of 20 metres. Don't know if I would like being up at 40 with a small canter truck as the base though
