thought i would treat myself this year to this beauty. Will shift packs of blocks, slabs , tonne bags etc. I had a smaller version, but it would only lift half a tonne, This one, upto 1700kg!
i know LLL has used one on a few of his jobs:)

on jobs with poor hiab access these ar a great tool for us, guy comes in moves 10 packs of bricks 5 tonne of sand and a tonne of cement up to the work area in around 2 hours
is this part of your hire fleet Dan or will it be just for your work?
nice buy !

i can hardly wait to seriously use it on a landscape job for moving packs of slabs around for example.
I will hire it, but only if i operate it. in the wrong hands, it can get smashed to bits

i had a 520+ before, and really wanted the biggest one they do so i could move large pallets of stuff around.
I searched for ages , and found one in shropshire, but i was on holiday, by the time i got back it had gone.
Found another at a dealer, but he would not let me sell my old machine private, and insisted i trade it in against his, despite offering £2000 less than i got private!!
in the end, my local dealer found me one. more hours than the one i was going to buy, but well looked after and serviced. plus, as its local, i can easily go back with queries. Reachitmoveitcrushit is the guys website.
