Cranes.....

[stumpjumper83]

Looking at possibly getting a crane for tree removals. Wondering what you guys

have and or rent. Looking at purchasing something like a manitex 1570 70' boom

with a 26' jib on a tandem axle flatbed. Im thinking that I need a tall crane not

necessarily a high weight cap. 15 ton size maybe. I plan on putting log bunks on

the flat bed so I can use the truck for that too. Anyone else have something like

this? Also what are crane rates in your area?

Just a heads up most small truck mounted cranes are not made to have a payload their built at the trucks GVW

also u may want more like a 30 ton with a 100' main and 20'/40' jib

if u get anything smaller it may not have a high lift cap. unless u park right under the tree (but if you can park their y use it?)

also get a rear mount their allot better for tree work as u can work off the back

or if u want a big 1 try this :jester:

did you rent that asd? His bill looks to have lots of zero's in it.

 

[ASD]

yes

that is more toy then we need to own

but it will pic. 5000 lb. 275' off center

we used it to remove some 80' tall euk's from a back yard (no side yards in this area)

Is that an ms200 he's using? I only have the 14 inch bar on mine.

 

[stumpjumper83]

ok, asd what was the quote total for that removal if I may ask. would 10k do it? Btw the guy running that saw has some nutz, I will not even run my 460 mag in a tree, that only has a 24" on it now, though I'm getting a 36" roller nose for occasional use for it.

Like ASD said go with like a 100' with a 20-40' jib. My buddy just bought a new 130' with 25' jib and said that he wished he had bought this right away instead of his 80'. If you need anything over 150' just rent it out.

23 ton + with at least 100 foot of stick before the Jib to reach over things. I like the All terrain cranes such as 4wd grove.
