A great deal of the old truck cranes built like tanks, even the Bantams were heavy buggers. Suspension was generally the tires, everything else solid or on hard bushings, very damned little give.
I may have an unhealthy obsession with knucklebooms, but I'd want something like this.Always wanted a truck set up like that with a lift axle. Would be handy as a shirt pocket to pull a lowboy for the lighter equipment and use on the job when we don't have a hoe to lift things.
550 that's a little high on power, Plus you can't get one with the Allison-It would be spec'd withI'll take that KW with the Palfinger spec'd with a 550 Cummins and 6sp Allison. Put a pintle on it to haul the small stuff in tight spaces.
550 that's a little high on power, Plus you can't get one with the Allison-It would be spec'd with
a Eaton automated Manual model EEO, a way better transmission, The cost of adding a Allison
would shoot that down plus the extra weight.
