That's pretty rare in the USA and it looks to be in very good condition. I couldn't figure out where it was located. Anyone else see that?

Where would you use it?

Where would you use it????

ANYWHERE YOU WANT!

There are some pretty impressive videos on youtube of those things in action.

What is the highway speed of this beauty ?
A VERY nice camper could be made with something like this.

Fast enough

What is the highway speed of this beauty ?

Looks like the speedo pegs at 100 kph...plenty fast for me...not sure I would want to go any faster in that thing...:smiley_drive:

Looked on craiglist, and couldn't find any 16,000lbs knukle booms, not mounted to a truck, but a couple of 12,000lb ones off the truck were $8 and $9,000, so if you even got that much for the boom, you'd have a pretty cheap truck.

leave the boom crane

so if you even got that much for the boom, you'd have a pretty cheap truck.

I picture leaving the boom crane and placing a "small" camper behind a platform for your rock crawler of choice...just park the MAN and offload said vehicle to go exploring...kinda like having a small whaler on your yacht...

I gave a lot of thought to building a LWB Deuce (16ft bed) and installing a knuckleboom right behind the cab, so I could load/unload my camper. but in the end, I decided to just make some camper jacks that will allow me to drive out from underneath it.

This is perfect for my idea of a dual purpose RV/Houseboat!

Leave the boom, build the camper box on the back.

Then in the summers, find a small barge and plop the box right on it, instant houseboat :wings:

I see this as a real possibility.

How much does that thing cost to drive, per mile? I would imagine my entire annual salary would go only to drive it 3/4 mile and then park it!

I can't imagine the cost of owning, maintaining, and driving one of these, and we're not even talking fuel costs here!
