See guys? He can follow what's going on. Why can't you?

First of all it was you two smart asses asking what happened to their biggest fan etc "insults" etc. Which were obviously meant for me. I said, "Have 3 of them now and 1 on order. Not 1 single problem. Trucks are worked every day! Still the best deal for the money." You didn't ask about the facility and I can still buy one without having to touch it! I am not building them! I am talking about building them! Still have been honest and you are still trying! You are relentless and probably should go talk to a professional about the issues you are having. For liability reasons they would no longer be I-CRANES. Are you catching any of this? Are there any more questions you need answered? You are your own worst enemy!

Let's see you painted a truck of yours a couple of weeks ago but it was posted for sale a couple of weeks ago by someone else you do not know? With the exact same picture you posted on here as yours? You don't know them but you share photos? wow dude! I traded it a couple weeks ago! Sorry if you couldn't follow that! Maybe it wasn't explained slow enough for you! I painted that truck in my shop over a year ago! The pictures were taken by me and sent to Bobby King to do whatever it is he does to sell the cranes. I like that you are still trying to cal me out! Still not working for you! somebody call the ministry of labour and send them to Kendals sign/crane shop before somebody gets killed Seriously Captain Intelligent comment guy? Let me know how that comment has any merit whatsoever? Chubby, I have come to the conclusion that you are just a complete idiot! Oh and by the way, you still haven't found one lie! You can keep on trying though! You are only dumbing yourself down! Great Job!

There is nothing to admit except that you can't read! They do not have a facility anymore but can still be built. I would assume under the I-CRANE name. This will all be resolved after the meeting. I ordered the tube sections to be built! Legally as far as the paperwork is concerned I would assume that I-CRANE still has a business license. If I can still order a crane then I guess that must have something to do with them. I really do not care if they are or aren't. What's the difference. I praised the value and design of the I-Crane. It was a good product! Please read previous posts before commenting and trying to call me out once again which doesn't seem to be going to well for you!

I traded the truck to Bobby King! What he did after it left here has nothing to do with me. I have never even talked to JS Crane! So what? There is a sign crane for sale. what is sooo hmmmmmm about that? You are still trying and it's still not working!!

Snoochie, That is the most intelligent thing I've heard on here! Somebody with common sense! I thought I would never find it! Thank you! You can bet it will be done right or like I said, I just won't do it at all! Reputation is key in the sign business and I have a good one! I am not planning on changing that with putting a crappy crane out there! Thanks

I said I had a crane on order! I know you must be a little slow so try to keep up before calling me a liar dick face! The owner of I-CRANE owns the steel company that builds the boom sections with the base and subframe. Those can be assembled in Georgia. You are correct that I-CRANE no longer has a facility. Since I needed another crane anyway and have been around them my whole life I figured I would just assemble it here along with some of my experienced guys that have been around and worked on our cranes for many years. (various manufacturers). I'M SPEECHLESS KENDAL YOU HAVE LARGE NUTS RISKING THAT MANY EMPLOYEES LIVES IN A BUSINESS THAT ALREADY HAS ITS DANGERS AS IT IS. How am I risking my employees lives? Crane and business would be insured and engineered. Only building the 50' Crane. You have said repeatedly how you have no part in ICrane you are just a satisfied customer once again bullshit. Face it you bought some shit that now is no longer made. How any sign shop that was busy would have time to develop,build and market a crane is beyond me. If you are so honest why don't you start telling the WHOLE truth. You have posted on sign web that ICrane is still in business just last week. I do not have anything to do with I-CRANE! I said I was meeting them in the next week or so! Damn, you are a little slow! I bought some shit that is no longer made? I can buy any part for that crane anytime I want! Its not a space shuttle people! They still make the parts! I am not developing a new crane. The existing design works great! I am making a few minor changes if I get to that point. Am I the first person ever to start another business? NO! I feel there is a need for it in the current market and have had very good luck with it myself, so if the opportunity is there I am going to explore it! You keep asking about the "WHOLE" truth and I have answered your smart ass comments. Again, still not seeing any lies from my end! Only a dipshit from your end! The only one doubting my truthfulness is you because you are holding some kind of grudge against Sam from years and years ago! Let it go man! I got screwed too! It's gonna be ok! There is no need to try and call me out! It's not working for you! I am not slooooowwwww! Keep that in mind before you try to bash me with I am doing. I would be putting my ass on the line with my money! I am sorry you don't have the balls to do something like this but you being an asshole about me wanting to build a crane is not helping whatever cause you think you are cheering for. I have said time and time again Licensed, Engineered, Insured etc. If I can't do it right then I just won't do it! Period! I am not just going to build a crane in the back yard because it sounded like a great idea. Don't be an idiot! I will have a ton of hours into just seeing if it is possible. You are talking to a successful educated individual and not some back woods sign guy with a welder! I have all my teeth! Great talk though! Go stalk someone else's posts! today, which is 7 days later you have recieved, and sold the 50' crane you said you had on order. interesting... That is not the 50' I had on order! I bought that in 2012 and had it mounted on an existing F550 I had! Try to keep up! I traded that for the white 62' crane! I still ordered a new 50' which I am flying up to discuss in the next week or so. Got it now or are you trying to get in with the smart ass from Express Sign?

The picture on page 1 is the crane I traded for the white truck you see above. The page 1 truck was white originally and I painted it myself! That was a couple weeks ago or so. What kind of rat do you think you smell? The 3 trucks above are the trucks I have here working now. The 72' crane was sold by me last week. Are you missing something or do you have it now? Exactly how am I full of shit? Ernest owns I-Crane at this point and I do not know anything about their future plans with that. That is why I am having a meeting with them in the next week or so. I wouldn't keep the I-CRANE name because of people like you that always have something negative to say and the past liability of what Sam put out before he left. As far as the license, business name etc. I have no idea. If you are that curious then look it up instead of bitching about it all the time! Is there a reason you need to know who owns it at this point? Do you own an I-CRANE or did you just get screwed by Sam before it was taken over? I am still trying to figure out what you think is bullshit? I am a very honest business man and do not have had any Jesus fish logo's anywhere near me! I am trying to build a good crane for a good price! That's it!! Is there a problem with that or do you just like bitching about something that has nothing to do with you?

The white cab is a new 62'. I worked out a few things and traded in the 50'. The F750 was here until the end of last week. That was a repo truck I acquired but after using a truck that size daily I realized it was just added expense, overkill and ridiculous to try to do daily jobs. Not worth having for the extra 10' or so of stick. I paid around 125k for the 2011 62' cranes. The 50' I had I am not real sure because it got mounted on one of my existing 550's at the time. Had it been a new truck at the time I am assuming it would have been in the 115k range without a generator/welder. As far as building my own cranes, yes that is the goal at this point if everything goes as planned. I meet with the steel company that builds the sections etc. next week so we will see how it goes.

Here is your proof! I have owned 5 I-Cranes thus far and still no issues after almost 3 years. As far as facilities etc. this would be a new company that I would be starting so it would be kind of hard to give you step by step details at this point. I would hope you would understand that you aren't going to see a crane being built right away as I am looking into insurance, certification, engineering, speaking to parts manufacturers etc. If you want to stay away after seeing it then I am ok with that too. You have quite a few nice trucks so you know what works for you. I am basically building the latest I-Crane with some modifications, engineering and a certification. Why change a good thing? Will have a 500 lb. Jib winch and a 2,000 lb. main winch. I don't think anyone offers that much versatility on a truck that size that will actually fit into parking lots for installations and service. My goal all along was to make 1 truck that will cover the majority of work done daily whether it is service or installation. No need to have 2 trucks on site (on some jobs). I know that has saved me quite a bit! Versalift (No main winch) - Manitex (Truck is not as versatile for daily use and costs a fortune). It is however a great crane and will lift for days however the majority of all signs just don't weigh that much! Elliott (same issues as Manitex. Great cranes though. Little service truck is garbage! Jib winch only which would almost be pointless! You can't even begin to tell me that a truck like am talking about at a price that is far less than what you would get anywhere else wouldn't be desired in the sign industry. It should be the best truck you can buy for the money! Do not misunderstand, I am not saying it is as good as the Manitex or Elliott as they have been field tested changed and improved for years. I am just trying to get a good solid safe crane out there at a price normal sign companies can afford! Period!

Well ok! It is going to take me a few months but I am thinking HighWorx! 1 model crane only! Will be engineered and certified. 50', Under 2000lb. on an F550. If there are suggestions now would be the time!

If I start building sign cranes and have them engineered are you still going to try and associate my crane with Sam or you still won't be over it?

I have 3 - 62' I Cranes already. Just adding a local service/install truck so 50' is enough for that

He has nothing to do with ICrane! It has been over 3 years since he got booted from there. Are you serious with still trying to give the ICrane a bad name because you obviously have some unresolved personal issues with Sam? Say what you will about him, I got screwed by him too but for you to down ICrane and still try to associate Sam with them is just uncool. The new owner at the time came in and spent thousand and thousands to make sure they were putting out a good crane. Also, fixing some of Sam's crap for free. You have to remember this was a start up company that progressed after it was taken over and in the end the IC 50 is a great design and very functional. You have yet to name a better crane for the money! Still waiting?

Its all explained already and who steals from the church? Are you still on a Sam Marcum rant who has absolutely nothing to do with this company? He has been gone for years! Get over that! Of course an engineer has looked at it and it has been tested extensively. If you absolutely need to talk to someone you can call Bobby King. If you need anything fixed call Shane that was the lead there. If you need numbers I have them.

Don't feel bad for me. I have no need for the engineers stamp. Wouldn't do me a bit of good. I have been around cranes all my life and I know what will work and what won't. Use them for what they are designed for, not to lift pallets of concrete bags off of a trailer. They are sign cranes. Signs do not weigh that much. They are still manufacturing the cranes, they are just being built somewhere else. It takes a lot of money to build cranes. This has nothing to do with the engineer. I am assuming financial after fixing all of Sam's crap or he just didn't need the money or hassle. He does own another much larger company that does very well. So you never really know the exact reason. It's not for lack of quality.

It will be engineered before any more are sold. Then what kind of negative comments will you have? Anyone with any common sense at all can see that it is overbuilt for what it is designed to do. The tube sections are built by the same company that builds parts for caterpillar. Do you think they just were out in the back yard scratching their heads and wondering if the parts they threw together would work? Please, you have got to be a little smarter than that.

3 different crews 3 different locations. Haven't broke or left me hanging 1 time. All of them are out so I will get a picture tomorrow and put it up next week. You act like they are some kind of unreliable crane. Sorry you had a bad experience with Sam but those days are long gone. The 50' Crane is pretty much the most versatile truck on the market for the money in the sign industry. Elliott's little 43' truck is a hunk of sh** comparatively. Very light duty with only a jib winch but costs more. No thanks! What else can you put on a 550 that will outperform IC 50? Nothing!

Either way we are capable of fixing any problem here if that ever became an issue. It's not rocket science. Steel, wiring and hydraulics.

I am working with Bobby on that and some other things. I will keep updates on here as they move along.
