![]() ![]() ![]() @mike962 - pick the bones out of this one! I think main is same crane as thumbs, but its position is different (must be a mobile crane then ![]() |

It's a different crane and frankly too far to be worth keeping!! my money is on a JONES crane like this they usually did this kind of mobile cranes http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6223/6279688806_feb397233c_o.jpg http://62.128.134.167/applications/CatalogManager/images/PA130002.JPG Link to "www.truck1.eu" -- Last edit: 2014-03-01 12:46:11 |

Coles did at first glance similar looking ones but they are smaller capacity and they don't have the rear supporting pillar and the lattice boom is much smaller too compared to ther Jones Link to "homepage.ntlworld.com" Link to "static1.wikia.nocookie.net" so if you really have to keep this thing it's pretty safe to say it is a JONES -- Last edit: 2014-03-01 12:50:52 |

Thanks. So if I keep a crane page, you're saying put one of the thumbs as main and call it a Jones? With current main picture just added in comment as unidentifiable other? (Or depending how things go for the rest of the series - 6 of 20 eps now done - I may end up ditching this page and putting all 4 pictures into main page comments). |

I am saying they are not exactly the same crane, you can see rear markings are different and details don't match now if its britsh my money is on JONES for both , cos mobile crane with long lattice boom is something they did Coles as I mentioned didn't do this kind and NCK Rapier and SMith RODLEY didn't do any mobile cranes (only crawlers) -- Last edit: 2014-03-01 13:49:15 |

It could be as all so similar , but I am happy to stick with Ajax. By the way Jones Cranes factory colour is red and most of them stay red . ps - do you know what this loader is ? ( not on imcd) ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2014-03-03 11:53:36 |

sorry have no idea , this old vintage rigid laoder are rather difficult often build by today forgotten producers, heck even pics and info wheel laders from a bigger UK company like AVerling Barford are very rare on the WWW JCB have considered going to this forum ? http://www.classicmachinery.net/ if they get youy membership perhaps you can ask them about the other still unknown construction machine shere -- Last edit: 2014-03-03 12:16:08 |
