Trailer-mounted crane

RAW · 02-07-2008, 02:29 PM

Can anyone point me to a manufacturer of small trailer-mounted crane setups?

For example, I found the Lil' Ox by BlueOx:

I really want to find a flat-bed trailer in the 14K GVW range with a knuckleboom type crane.

The Lil' Ox looked pretty good until I got a price--$28K!!

I could buy a used crane truck for that much.

Nice set up but you know that you will be lucky to be able to haul 7000lb on a 14000lb trailer with the crane and heaver trailer needed to support it maybe even less that that

Could you tag and insure a crane truck for as little as the trailer... Upfront cost is one thing; ongoing cost is another.

Bailey's

Hudson

Here's several:

Sawmill & Woodlot

They're all pretty pricey though... The Ox is said to have a stronger loader as
compared to many.

Our company sells Amco Veba cranes, an italian make. We took the dealership just a year ago and have sold only 2 so far. These cranes can operate on a PTO pump or electric, and come in all sorts of ratings.
A 1.5 ton/meter crane with electric drive, would cost about 7000 Euro.
Is the $28k for just the crane, or a trailer with crane ? And what lifting capacity ?

That would be crane and trailer. The model shown picks 3500lbs @ 5ft
They make a larger model that picks nearly 6000 lbs @ 7ft for the 12 ton trailer.

All figures were pulled off the website. I don't work for em but they sponser another forum I frequent.
