Finding Allen on that mountain top is one of the best things that's ever happened to you guys. There doesn't seem to be anything that stops him. If your heart suddenly stopped, I have no doubt he'd find a way to get it running again...

I'm sure Alan could put that crane to very good use up at the Mountain Fortress. It would make things so much easier for Alan especially as he is usually working alone and as we have recently seen on his channel there are so many heavy objects that need to be lifted to the very top where he is building and installing the fans. I would love to see the crane go to Alan so that's my vote. He has been such a great addition to the team and the channel, he deserves a helping hand.

Frankly with the recovery work you do, leaving it as a crane is probably the best use. At most refit it with the widest tires you can easily transport, some enormous mud pads for the jacks, some spikey rock pads, some anchoring spikes on the front blade, a front mega-winch, etc.

As a certified crane operator I have to advise against pushing a crane to the max of her limits. A crane’s capacity has two limitations: structural strength and stability. if you push the crane, one of these limits will cause the crane to fail.

I'd fix it up and keep it what it is. Make it a really nice crane! I'm sure you guys could use it for recoveries or around the lot and if not I'm pretty sure there's at least a few people out there that could find an amazing purpose for it. I sold him notice small cranes anymore it seems like everything is large to incredibly large. Which means they generally have to bring in the wide load crew shut down intersections etc. Having something small reliable could probably do a lot of the jobs.

I think the 20t is gonna come in handy sooner or later. Bridge building, tilt up concrete walls, recoveries. I used to run a 30 ton Drott repairing railcars. We pulled locomotive engines with it too. That might be more than that crane can handle. Bridge contracts could be lucrative. 🤘😎
