One is it's max elevation, the other is it's max reach. Max elevation is at 22.5' radius, and max radius is at 100 elevation.

(Looking at the Manitowoc 2892S) The crane w/o cab weighs 22.4klbs, the telescopic jib is 1226lbs, and the cab is 575lbs. The 14' flat bed is 1260lbs. The telescopic jib is good for a max of 5400lbs (25' radius, 145' tip height). the winch is rated for up to 8500lbs of line pull. The...

I'm ok with that, my parents said the same thing about getting in the tree biz, man lift, chipper, chip truck, mini skid, and dump trailer.

12 hours up and down B-mang. In post 43 I said it wasn't perfect for normal tree work, but regular cranes are a dime a dozen and I prefer a market with lower competition. If I expected enough tree volume to keep a boom truck busy, obviously there's no reason not to get one. However, since my...

Packing up is significantly faster than setting up. The crane could be set up and taken back down in 12 hours or less I'd figure. A hydro crane could be up and down in 6 or less. Over half the time is getting the site/crane level and the safety/operating parameters set. When it comes time...

On a hydro machine, unfolding the works only takes about 20 minutes, longer on the mechanical. The less level the ground is, the longer it would take to get it level enough for the machine to compensate for, that can eat a couple hours. The counterweights can take an hour to put on, depending...

Of course they make smaller ones. They make a few small enough to tow with a 1 ton. That particular model would be under $300k delivered anywhere in the US. Various options would bring the price down. I meant to say 1 day, not 1 hour. Mechanical erectors take a while longer to set up, but...

Still in trees, but not a 6 day a week caption barron. More along the lines of a 1-2 day a week, and (in theory) get another job to fill 4 days a week, (in theory) 75k+ a year on a 5 day week before taxes. The 4 day a week job would cover my annual expenses, the tree money would be cream...

I'm moving in a different direction. If I would have known about them when they first started coming about in 06, things may have been different.

It's just a crane, it doesn't care what the weight is as long as it's in chart. It sets up in the same footprint as my Genie, but has the reach and (extended) capacity of a 150T crane. You could park it at the 50 yard line of a football field, set up in an area the smaller than my living room...

Some specs: Transport weight: 42klbs Counterweights: 68klbs Stowed deminsions:52'x8'x13' Outrigger Footprint 13'9"x13'9" Max lift capacity: 13.2klbs @ 40' Max radius: 148' @ 91' of hook height 2.4klbs Max hook height: 162' @ 128' radius, 2.4klbs Capacity @ 100'=5.5klbs.

If I was in the market for a crane, I'd get a self erector, no doubt.

I couldn't care much less about the city streets. The parking pad was on me but the crane company came to bat right away and took care of it. The 10' driveway was a job I was a sub on. The homeowners were paying for the crane, and we nearly used a helicopter instead to prevent damage to the...

Aside from the $150 for the bricks, the customer's were indifferent with the "damage" or the damage wasn't my fault. The customer where I broke the bricks spent another couple-few grand this past year with me, which is when I busted their dranage ditch and fixed it back good as new and...

We snaked a 100T down a 10' asphalt drive and it busted about 6-8' right before the driveway met the parking area. The third tree I removed with a crane the operators didn't look at the layout sheet and drove right across a 2 car parking pad they were suppose to straddle with the outriggers...
