You have been an inspiration to me and helped me a lot!!! I appreciate your teaching and explaining what you’re doing. I’m about to start my new job as an apprentice ( I guess ) to start getting my hours and learn to be a Crain operator in SC… would love to connect and explain…
update on the manitex vs trex vs national questions I had so, my local guy has been running a 30102WL rear mount, wrong winch, only 3500 pound line pull, he just recently got an older 30112S, correct winch and all that, the trucks 10ft shorter, outriggers have a half span chart, all that good stuff, got it out on a job 2 days ago and it blew out something in the rotator fitting for the continuous rotation, and the operator was complaining about how you have to run it nearly wide open on the go pedal to get any sort of fine control or multiple functions, whereas the 30102 will run 2 or 3 functions at idle BTW, that 30112s was having some problems with the hydraulics, telescope and boom hoist control wouldn't work till you give it a ton of throttle and it'd act like a spring and jump up or down really bad
