they would roll out the red carpet and provide lunch for the crew.
No, I don't think so. I don't know what that machine weighs...maybe way less than I'm guessing.

its weighs enough that when they brought it home that the counter weights had to be hauled on a 18 wheeler.
I'm usually pretty easy to deal with. Caught me off guard. Maybe cause I only had an hours rest the night before. Had a very technical body recovery in a trench that listed over 14 hours the day/night before we went down.
Don't want to upset the mods. But if you're dealing with an equipment dealer (used stuff, but new attachment for sale) out of Saxton PA, that's him.
It's water under the bridge to me now. I've moved on. No sense worrying about the small stuff.
First Week with the 110 Ton crane | Facebook
Finally having some fun with the new toy. 200’ of boom really turns some heads. Got more then a few funny looks from people as they drove by our sites today. Tomorrow will be the first job with all the counterweights
Every crane I've ever worked with pales next to that baby. I'd love to ride that boom.
ya, but if one of your millionaire clients had a tree go thru their house and they needed a machine of that caliber, they would roll out the red carpet and provide lunch for the crew. they would hire someone else to clean the dog poop. machine can be configured to be street permittable i am quite sure. there are some pretty upscale hoods here in ct. and mass. also. the machine wasn't bought to stay in the garage and get polished.
weighs much less than that, thats why counterweights come separate. can be utilized with different configurations very handy for a high-capacity machine.I am as dumb as a stick about that machine but just guessing I would think it weighs in excess of 120,000 pounds. IF that is the case there is NO way you could bring it in to at least four of our best neighborhoods I don't care what falls on a house.

That's probably enough about your crane. You are kinda running that deal into the ground.
Why did you guys pass on terex. I've always liked there cranes just curious how they stacked up.
I've been working with that guy at altec you sent our way I'm going down to check out there plant when I can get free.
LMAO. I saw that response coming when I posted that. We work mostly in very upscale neighborhoods surrounding two large lakes. They would fine you a million dollars if you tried to bring that thing in on their streets.
Oh, I am sorry Mckeetree. I guess I have been obsessing over the new crane too much. Got a nice distraction tonight. Our new bucket truck showed up a few days early, wasnt supposed to be here till the middle of next week, but then I got a call from the Drive-away service saying they would be here around 6pm. This was a cool project. FEVA has never built an all wheel drive rear mount 75er on a Kenworth before. It was a bit of a challenge to spec it out since it hasnt been done before. It was also a surprise when it showed up because I havent ever seen one before, we really didnt know how it was going to look. I am very happy with how it came out. :msp_thumbup:

Your upscale neighborhoods have weight limits on the vehicles that service them that go beyond your state laws? Wow, that must make it hard to get things done. Its been my experience that projects in the wealthiest areas tend to require the biggest equipment . Yesterday when we were taking down a dead Norway Maple next door to Bob Crafts house in Chestnut Hill, no one came out to ask how much the crane weighed, or asked to see my oversized permits Two of the neighbors stopped their Land Rovers in the work zone to take some pictures but no inquires about the weight of the crane. Weird, things must be different in Texas :msp_wink:
