There was a green one of these at the workshop
One of many persons, I drove/used it during my apprenticeship
In fact, it was possibly the only crane in town, callouts to car accidents, farm lifts all over the shire
It was registered with 'Hand' for signals
Worked best with the boom jackknifed around to the front
on bitumen, it could get the bunny hops
slow, hot in summer, cold in winter and wet when it was raining
at manoeuvring speed, without a load, it built up the armstrong muscles
the cran's rams were strong enough to lift the back of the truck off the ground
I was not old enough to have a drivers licence, no one asked either, reflective jackets had not even been thought of
king of the road rod
