Hi,
This difference in size means having training in helping vehicles of this size and also having the mechanical power to recover vehicles of this size in the form of a flat bed lorry and possible heavy crane lifting equipment. You can get more information from HMF Cranes UK Ltd.

Hi
HMF products have the reputation of being one of the most durable and reliable brands in the market. I browsed a site about the lorry crane and loader crane. They are offering in different sizes and models. So if you are interested then you can land

Very cool design! Useful information. Go on! A guy walks into a Jordan shoes store and asks for a pair of size 8 tie Jordan shoes. The salesman says, "But, sir, I can see from up here you're at least a size 11."The guy says, "Just bring me a size 8 tie shoe."The salesman brings them, the guy stuffs his feet into them, ties them tight, and then he stands up, obviously in pain. The salesman just has to ask, "Sir, why must you have these undersized shoes?"He says to the salesman, "I lost my business and my house, I live with my mother-in-law, my wife is screwing my best friend, my daughter is pregnant, and my son is gay. The only pleasure I have in life is taking off these damn shoes."

At 150' you could probably go as high as a 12,000lb ball but you will have to be pretty close to your work. On a 60-65 tonner w/150' of boom you can work at a down angle of about 36 degrees and that will give you about 125 feet of radius but it will greatly reduce the load capacity. I have had a 200t Manitowoc raise off the ground being held by a strip pf caulk because we had to boom down so low to reach the 5000 lb load. For a good all around baller I would go with a 10000 lb ball (or a little less) so that you can boom up and down as needed to reach as much of your target as possible without having to move a lot. If you keep your boom angle above 45 degrees you shouldn't have too much trouble working five or six stories. Just remember that a truck crane is going to be more tippy than a crawler when balling. It doesn't mean its going to go over it'll just feel like it.
Good luck!

My last truck crane was a 1970's 70ton P&H and it served admirably so you are probably in the right ballpark weight wise, I would make sure that there is some good nonspin cable on the drums. Compare the drum brakes, I would go with the one with bigger brake surface (helps not loosing the ball if you're balling).
How new are the ones you are looking at?
