Bought this sight unseen, now I wonder just how big it is and if I

It is an enormous traveling gantry crane, 10 ton capacity.

Nice! Gonna scrap it or auction it off? That could be used nicely in
power plants, aircraft service, ship repair etc etc


I am going to scrap most of it, but keep the boom and make an
attachment for my 30,000 lbs forklift. It would get me a telescoping
boom that goes up and down.
