Here's one for the cost of a shotgun shell.

Can you imagine trying to walk and your knees bent backwards?

Yes. It was called a "Ruck March" when I was in the Army and part of the reason I get to park in handicrap spaces.

Why does the OP want a crane to begin with?

Fun fact. About 10 years ago we had one of the biggest cranes in the world here at one of our refineries. It weighed 7 million pounds, has 9 miles of cable and can lift 4 million pounds.

I’ve seen some heavy equipment in my life including a steam generator lift but this crane was ridiculous.

I got hit in the arm by the falling boom of a 150' crane 2 weeks before my wedding early 80's. Could have killed me, but I had just started to run away! It ran down my side then ripped off my shorts and wears.....knocked me over blood squirting all over.....

I sometimes wonder what God was saying that moment.....get down the aisle or don't do it!

Pix of you walking with backward knees or GTFO.

Nobody wants to see you with no shorts.

One guy covered me with his shirt, but yeah my naked ass was wide open for everyone to see. Painful and embarrassing....

Morton Gordesky Esq. got me a nice check!

U R living in Minnisoda, right???

I remember visiting that when a kid/mid teens maybe.....and looking out over that iron mine/canyon.....and seeing a crane about that size.....

Recently hired a crane, the typical wheeled motorized unit...cost $1,600 and they were done in less than one hour, and that included set up.

Apparently the invoice included drive time.

That's where they make their money.

This is the closest I can come to a crane for my pickup. A Viking Rack-Jack that plugs into my receiver.

How do they even get something like that in place?

It was figurative and there was no walking after my knees gave out. It was an ambulance ride to the ER, lots of x-rays, pain meds, crutches, and 30 days of convalescent leave.

I thought you were born with knees that work backwards like a crane.
