Nooo sir. nothing above a sc62 should be on a single in my opinion unless you are just using it for service work. If you are going to make it a rolling shop with all the gear and haul trailers/ signs its going to be overweight on a single. Ill bet a rx87 with cheap boxes weighs every bit of 30-31k empty

Ok i will keep my eyes pealed. Hopefully you wouldnt get an 87 on a single axle
-
haha, yea these used commercial truck dealers are a bunch of sleezballs from what im noticing
-

I wonder if one of them actually has it or if they are just brokers trying to sell for someone else

Skyhoists are head and shoulders above an elliot IMO. You didnt really mention any particular models you are looking at. Hopefully you are looking at an SX or rx series with a self leveling basket and an in basket jib. I have an sx57 and it has been great. I cant wait till I have a need for something bigger so I can find a rx87on a tandem

This guy is everywhere in nyc. Well done paul

we are also In need of some project management software, let me know what you find.

yea I already told this customer I will be charging a disposal fee from now on. This could all be avoided by using bubble wrap, I could at least reuse that easily for my shipments. But peanuts are horrible.

yes they are Styrofoam. That's a good idea I will call and ask, doubt they would want them though

We do a bunch of installs for a company that insists on shipping channel letters in wood crates and carboard pallet crates with PEANUTS in them. It drives me nuts lol. Does anyone have any ideas on getting rid of them other then dumping the entire crates into the dumpster? I was trying to avoid that. I wonder if anyplaces recycle them?

I hear ya Paul,
A maintenance company in your neck of the woods stipulates 1/2 hour travel allowance. I told them it is 1 hour each way so you need to change your PO. Never heard back and then they were saying their customer was mad. Bit the bullet and went only because we had others to do there and realized it was more indepth than initially thought, so called because the NTE was exceeding and they got mad. Told them to send one of their own trucks which I see all the time running around.
it wouldnt happen to be a white dodge ram bucket truck would it

yup, its the same raquet you see these guys selling the sx57's and l55's l60s on trucks under cdl.. the truck weighs 24k out of the factory and then is overweight after you put your welder and bottles on. check out the Crane center in ohio, there website might not be up to date but they are one of the best in the business with skyhoist/manitex cranes. call and see what they have in stock. Not sure of your budget but you could probably pick up a great condition tandem 87 for around 100-125k. a single axle 87 in decent shape go for 60-80 as you may have noticed and there is a reason. most have been flogged.
Are you replacing that 80' knuckleboom truck you have? isnt that thing a tandem? a sx57 and rx87 are a big jump from one another. which one do you see yourself using more? I forget what other trucks do you have to support this on an install?
