We often get to see some of the most unique crane applications there are when we do our HIAB picker training. This one isn’t of a unit in North America, but I wish it was! The unit was designed in NL and not only was it installed on a non-traditional chassis, it’s a combination of tractor, combine chassis and all-terrain vehicle. The crane is a Palfinger crane with a jib attached for added versatility. The downside to this is portability. You simply can’t drive it down the roadway, it has to be transported on a truck/trailer combination, but I still think it’s one of the coolest picker units i’ve seen.

Many companies are “used to” this and simply use short reach cranes (less than 25′ – see photo below) to offset the reduced stability, good practice but makes it very challenging

Question: Who’s Responsibility is it to make sure that the operator is trained on the equipment they work with daily? Answer: Everyone who is around the equipment. The business owner’s in many cases, has over $200,000 invested in just the truck & crane package that is servicing the Oil patch in Alberta.
