Used, from a buddy who followed my lead out of construction (actual work) into to watching people work from the comfort of a seated position. I sold him 2 of my rigs (17 ton Terex and then my Manitex 22101S, and he went on to develop quite the business for himself. This 2007 ( no DEF BS) Elliott is pretty unique in it's configeration. Out and downs, a seat, continuous rotation, in a 17 tonner, kind of an oddball. New ones are now rated at 18 tons. It is being currently worked, but the old guy he hired is re-retiring, and it will be surplus as he still has 3 other rigs. 50K. No leaks, IH chassis with their small 6 banger diesel and a six speed, the same setup I had in my Terex 17 ton. It may actually get into the double digits during highway travel! A narrow 17'+ span on the outriggers, and being rear mounted pretty far back on the chassis would allow it to get into tighter sites, and make the most of the 70' of boom. It also has a 40' 2 part jib. It's a little rig, compared to my 30 ton National, but would be somewhat adequate as a backup to the Nat, and useful for the smaller jobs where my rig is overkill.
Especially like the job I had Friday....a 2.5 hour drive one way, in Mackay Idaho, to set trusses on a shop that didn't need more then 60' of stick. This area is totally unserved by anyone except those of us in the "big" cities several hours away. My 40+ years of living in this area, and my appreciation of it's scenic beauty, especially from the air when I'm flying, makes me think it's going to do nothing but continue to slowly expand/get built up. I have a buddy with land at the local airstrip, right by the main highway into town. Parked there, with a sign on it, would make me the logical choice over paying travel time from the city. The Elliott would also serve as a backup (for the smaller jobs of course) when the National was down. The thought of a 50K write off is attractive also. My next thing to do is check with my insurance guy and see what my rates would be with one driver but two rigs.
