What do you think of this overhang

[Brian]

If SkyLift want's to tell their side they should just step up and do it in a straightforward manner.

They are members on here. I have seen where they have been watching.

Ronnie at Signs Hanging. I do not know you or your company, but I do know alot about sign trucks. I have used them for over 30 years. I have designed and sat down with the engineers of the major names. My ideas and their experience have made many changes that make the sign industry a better place. At no time did any company build a truck that was not code compliant or unsafe. It is the manufacturers job to build a deliver a compliant truck. They are experts. I have never seen Skylift at any sign shows or in the field. I do not know anyone on this website or in the industry who has a Skylift.

I do not know if you are the owner who pays for the equipment, or a worker who uses it and just gets a paycheck at the end of the week. As an owner, I want a quality built truck that is going to last. If it needs to be fixed, I want it fixed by a responsible person. I dont want a truck that no one will touch. The people on this site have combined thousands of years experience in this industry and not one has said anything good about Skylift.

I also find it extremely difficult to believe that you are a NEW YORK sign company who went to KENTUCKY to see Skylift for yourself. I cant find time for lunch and dinner is anytime from 8 to midnight if at all.

Please send some pictures of your trucks so we all can see what you have, put up or hang up.

Anybody in this discussion have a manitex sc62? I want opinions of the Elliott L60 and SC62 Manitex.

[Signsfast]

paul has a sc62 and sx87 I believe

[paul321]

My Manitex 62 is 5 years old and works everyday. In 5 years the only issues were a leaking hydraulic outrigger hose, One blown fuse and a shorted wire. The leak was an easy fix. The other two issues were also simple repairs. My truck was built by STAMM Industries in Florida. They are the best in manufacturing and support. I would not hesitate on buying another Manitex.

I have an Elliot 57. This truck works well, but doesn't come close to the Manitex as far as stability, lifting and manufacturing quality. Elliot has been around a long time and has a strong representation in the crane industry. Both trucks preform well, but my choice would be Manitex. If you're buying new, do your homework on the chassis, bodywork and crane manufacturer. Email me if you have any questions....Red is still a better color choice.

Paul what model elliot? L55 or ECL? what chassis is it on?

true, but so far this idea works and it passes canadian standards. best part is that is isn't a Skylift, i-crane or tyson ford crane. i won't need diapers on when i use this one, i made sure the frame does twist and turn with lift. it has a 500 lbs winch in the bucket, i guess skylift, icrane is special and can make the same size truck lift 5000lbs. one of them is lying to me, i wonder which one?
