  1. Im sure there are plenty out there that are working fine but I would never buy one as a primary plotter. Id lose more money then id save if mine ever went down for a few days. Our mimmaki has been flawless for the last 7-8 years (knock on wood)

  2. There's no way that rig is over the 14' 6" Clearance shown. My guess is they had the boom elevated when they hit it.

    I was also thinking that, i dont think the impact would have lifted the boom up like that either it would have just mangled it

  3. you are not missing anything, its just how they sell more. They try and skirt the issue because companies do not want to have to have cdl drivers and all the extra expense with that so they try and pull the wool over our eyes and do not have any real word experience with these trucks. As you said once you put the welder, some tanks. your two guys, all the tools we use everyday, hardware you will be overweight not to mention if you want to carry a sign on it or even pull a trailer, that truck needs to be on a 33k chassis.

    P.S in reference to this, what happens when you are overweight? do they give you a fine and you drive away or do they make you offload until you are underweight and write a ticket?

    "We currently have one of our fleet cranes with a similar setup and our drivers get popped for being overweight all the time at weigh stations. "
