Tower crane op

[Keller]

Hello I'm a heavy equipment operator that specializes in tower cranes. I been lurking hear for a few years and just now needed to register lol. You can usually find me in the build it yourself forum or the projects.

Don't know if any one will care but there is my rig. Pic taken from the otter tower on a nice foggy morning.

I have been manufacturing and servicing truck cranes for years. I made product for Manitowoc and Manitex. Do you use there products?

So how many steps to get up to your "office"... (...and can I go for a ride out on the end of the crane?) :laughing::thumbsup:

Yes MD3 I ran a lot of "pickers" before they let me run the big stuff. And I was broke in on a Manitowoc 4100 ringer.

It's about 180'. Yep there's a little service basket that hangs off the trolly you can ride. Don't worry I'll go slow.

Look at the second line at the top where you see "Main Index", "Today's Posts".... Click on the "My Home" tab...

On the left side look for "Settings & Options" and the first one you want is "Edit Avatar"... then you have two options... if you need any more help, just ask...
