Just in case if this is not apparent, this crane is HUGE and weighs
about 1,300 lbs. I was photographing it from eye level. The little
Harbor Freight crane is just a skinny boy in comparison to this
crane. Its capacity is 4,000 to 6,000 lbs depending on the boom
position.

Now tellus you paid $40 for it and the guy tossed in a couple tons of
misc. with the deal. Just to really **** us off.

Great buy. Wish I had one just like it. I've got a 4 ton lift A frame
hoist on rollers but it can be unweildy to get in position.

Now will the legs go under a standard car?


My "A" frame has two huge A shaped pillars with a ten foot I beam
accross the top at a ten foot height. Stone bitch to move around, you
have to move it with a fork lift or pull with a tractor. The wheels do
swivel but not very well. its really too damn heavy for swivels.
