Tractor-Mounted Lift Crane MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Forklifts 20-5-35 No tractor-mounted lift crane in the world matches the features and versatility of this lift, which I designed for use on our kibbutz. I wanted something we could use for all kinds of chores - pulling engines, lifting farm equipment, making building repairs, construction projects, and so on. It had to be maneuver-able and it needed a lot of lifting capacity, which meant it had to be mounted in such a way that the load would be counter-balanced We obtained a 360? crane off a service
truck and mounted it on a Manitu telescopic loader, which has plenty of weight to counterbalance the load, lots of hydraulic capacity, and is extremely maneuverable. I built mounting brackets that anchor the 2 1/2-ton crane directly to the frame of the tractor. In addition, a pair of hydraulic legs lower to the ground for extra support.
The lift crane will lift a 1-ton load up to 18 ft. out in front of the tractor and will work out to either side of the tractor as well. It takes less than 5 min. to hitch and unhitch. It's now one of the most valuable pieces of equipment we own. We use it all the time for all types of jobs. (Doron Yoffe, Ramat-Yohnan, 30035, Israel ph 011 972 4 845 9617)
