The military stuff is a sideline for me, sort of a fun hobby I can claim as business. My "real" business deals in a specialized lightweight concrete building material. In that business, I have acquired a good number of small, manually propelled mini-cranes. I have discontinued this model and really want to get rid of them.
A few members who have seen them have suggested that others may be interested in them. You could take the wheels off and bolt them to a bed or mount trailer tires to them for rougher ground work. I have even heard of one guy mounting a towing tongue on one and pulling behind his truck.
These things have a 7'x7' wheelbase and are about 17' long and 6' tall when folded up. When erected the boom is about 14' tall. It has a hook that can travel the length of the boom and a cord that can carry 110v power to the hoist if you are using an electric one. They can swivel 360 degrees. They are designed for about 350#, but that is based on ballast weight. If bolted to a bed it would carry much more.
These cranes have been sitting for many years and need some TLC and paint, but there are hardly any moving parts to them, so it won't take much to get them operational again. The worst part about them are the wheels, they are junk and they are German, so you can't buy replacements locally. However, it would be easy to cut them off and weld on some trailer tire studs in their place pretty cheaply. No hoist or clamp is included.
Let me know if their is any interest in these things. If so, I will put them in the classifieds.
