I hear about stuff like that all the time and it just myphs me! If I buy a project like that for my son(s) and they don't want it. Then I'm fixing it up and they'll never get a chance to drive it and they can go get their own vehicle!

Yea lets tow this thing down the interstate and see what happens! Price seems a little steep.

Is he serious about towing that friggin thing? Call me crazy but I think I'd have to pass on that one!

Hate to tell you youngsters, but I'd be all the hell over that deal if the price was right. Back in the day, when you rented a hoist, they were towable like that one right there. I'd love to have it. no lifting mine into the back of pick ups and killing my back. They are also stronger, and easy to move around your yard with those big wheels you can even push it thru heavy grass.

Can you actually tow them at reasonable speeds? Those tires look like they'd just fall apart at anything over 10 mph!

The idea of towing around a cherry picker is kinda cool I guess. That guys on crack, that unit looks home made. Maybe if it had tires at least the size of the ones on towable cement mixers.

Yes he is on crack. Price way to high, and I notice the boom is very very short. Poor design. I don't want that one.

Definitely needs a longer arm and larger tires!!

Cops here would freak seeing that thing towed down the road, lol...

How awesome would it be to cut a small truck in half and make a trailer out of the bed, build a frame over it with an I beam that hung off the back about 6 feet. You could use one of those over electric hoists, lift the motor out and roll it right into the back of your trailer.

An A-frame hoist like one of those coffin transporter trucks right? Damn I can;t find a pic. We had a '85 Dodge 3/4 with a 12' flatbed we bought from an auction that used to be one of those and it had the big 4 legged a-frame welded to the bed with the I-beam on top sticking out past the back bed of the truck. We cut it off and made a delivery truck out of it. We called it the "Gravedigger" and nobody wanted to drive it, LMFAO!!! I always drove it, had a 5 speed manual on a 360, I beat the **** out of that thing. One weekend I borrowed it from for and I picked up 3 skids of concrete mix to bring to my dad's place for some work he was doing on the house. Tht's 12,000 LB. I can;t believe I made it, lol!!!!!!!!! The rear springs were sitting on the frame, acred upside down and, and the tires were ready to blow, dual tires, hahaha!!! I got away with some **** boy....

Sorry, rambling....

OK, little bit more rambling, sorry. This customer I delivered to when I was driving trucks before I became dispatcher, they had a company vehicle that got totalled in the front. The cab got ripped right like half way off the frame from being t-boned. They cut the frame with the bed, rear axle, and bed/tailgate intact and sold it to me for a hundred bucks. I brought it back on my flatbed and drove by the office at work coming in and the boss had a **** fit, but I got it home and after some welding made a trailer out of it. It was kick ass. It was from a 89 Chevy pickup, and it was a 6' bed. Even had a bedliner in it. I used that thing quite a bit. It was a 1/2 ton. That thing trailered down the turpike straight as an arrow. I miss that trailer.

That reminds me of a buddy of mine back in NM, his father in law got one to many dui's and was going to prison. Same Truck you described, at the time it was decently new and up for repossesion and also in my buddies back yard. He cut the truck in half and sold the rest of the **** that was good and had a a brand new garbage trailer haha.
