the little 8 T job you could park in a normal size car park, lift the boom, sneak it in, back it up to the back of the bay and then lower the boom.
with co-ordinated front 2, rear 2 4 wheel steer and crab you could get them into some amazingly tight places if you had room to lift the boom up
able to operate mobile, static on rubber, half and full length outriggers so you could use them like a mini frenna inside some buildings.
ground weight was only 12T for the 8t lifting one.
available in city crane and all terrain versions (basic difference being tyre width, drive ratio suspension height and overall height) and able to comfortably do 80kph.
Chain bin on the front and if you did it just right you could lift the boom, use the headache ball to open the bin (the one I drove had a replacement handle on it just for doing this) drop the ball into the right part of the bin slew off while you pay out leaving the hook in the bin, lean out of the cab and drop your sling selection on without leaving the cab. IF you were on good ground you could show up, get your instructions setup the crane do the lifting pack it all up, do your paperwork and get gone without even leaving the seat.
