Here's one for the cost of a shotgun shell.
Can you imagine trying to walk and your knees bent backwards? |

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! |

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. |

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