Just got back home with new crane

[Brian]

Hey guys just got back from picking up my truck with the new crane from Wilkie MFG. in Oklahoma City OK. I'll tell you these guys are great to deal with and are true to their word. We had a couple of unexpected issues arise and they went out of their way to make sure everything was right. The price that they quoted me was exactly what the bill was for when I got there to pick it up. If any of you that have never seen one of their cranes, they are built like a tank! I used ours this morning to lift a couple of AC units and it worked great. A note to signworks, I would go see Brian at Wilkie I think you would be well please with on of their units. We looked at a truck just getting ready to leave and they were testing another one while we were there. They have a 75' with remotes that is really nice.

I've always had great experiences with Wilkie. Those guys have top of the line customer service.

Truck looks great!!

Great looking set up! We love our Wilkie ladder - too bad we put it on a piece of $##(! truck...

a friend of mine has one similar L8000? I think, 900,000km still going

[Brian]

yea the L8000 is a good truck we drove it 11 hours each way and it ran like a champ. Our other two trucks are International 4900 with DT466 motors in them and I think the L8000 is just as good.

I hope you enjoy your Wilkie better than we did. The rotator was too small for the crane it was attached to. If the truck had hydraulic outriggers, we probably could have managed, but swinging the crane to level the bed was too much. After the second or third time the rotator broke & the crane swung free, the staff wouldn't use it anymore. It was a 50' truck. Yours is likely more stout to begin with. If we only used the truck in level parking lots, we would have been fine, but pulling the truck onto a hillside without hydraulics was a no-no.

Don't know about the rotator, but swinging the crane to level the bed is a big no-no
