If you have knuckle boom questions, feel free to post them here or you can contact me directly at [email protected]. We would be happy to answer any knuckle boom questions whether tree-care related or otherwise.

 

Do you guys make a crane like the "Ant" crane which is like your guys cranes but way smaller?There's youtube videos of it.

 

Pcoz88 ... Yes we do. Palfinger manufactures three different models, all of which we have in stock. The cranes can be set up to run via a transmission mounted PTO and pump, or we can set them up to be powered via an optional 12 Volt power unit. Feel free to give me a call at the office (419) 448-8156 x 202 or e-mail me @ [email protected]. Thank you for the inquiry!

 

My name is Pete Costantini,thanks for responding back . Where do the prices start on these cranes that are like the ant crane.I burn and sell firewood but the prices i have gotten from the ant crane people were a little high for what i do. Just wanting more info on these cranes you sell. Do you ever get used ones back in to sell?? Thanks for your time.I live south of Green Springs,Ohio out by leafy oak campground if you know where that is.Thanks again!!

 

Pete ... I know right were you are. I am just south of you near Clinton Campground. These cranes start in the $8,500 range including the power unit, however that does not include installation. Since you are so close, you can stop out to the plant and I will show you around and you can look at the cranes. Thanks!

 

I might take you up on that!!

 

Pete ... That will be fine. Just stop in at the front desk and ask for Jason Smith. Thanks!

 

I was in Pittsburgh at a trade show this last weekend. I was talking to one of your reps about 0ne of the Q150 L models. I called the company a few days ago with further questions. They gave me the number of my nearest dealer which is in Byron Center, MI. I called them and they know nothing about this model. The last time I talked to them they said they are waiting from the company for more information about this model

 

Coen ... I apologize for the confusion. The Palfinger Epsilon is a relatively new product in North America and parts of the dealer network are still being worked out. I will get in touch with the North American Product Manager and get this worked out for you right away. Again, I apologize for the confusion. - Jason

 

Thanks

 

Coen ... I spoke with our North American Produc Manager for the Epsilon product. He has gotten your name and phone number from the Dealer in Byron Center and will be contacting you directly soon, if he hasn't already, to get you in the right direction to get some questions answered. If there is anything else I can do, please feel free to contact me. Thanks again - Jason.

 

Thanks Jason. What I saw in Pittsburgh was impressive.
