I am flying out Thursday morning to St.Louis to pick up our new shop toy. It is a 65' Radocy crane mounted to a Ford F700 chassis. This added to the 35' bucket truck already in our fleet makes us able to kick some local sign butt on installations! This is exciting for us as this adds an extra element to our capabilities with a load limit of close to 4000lbs. The sky is the limit - at least 65 feet.

Hire an extra guy and just lease the crane out for general crane work. You'd probably keep it busy all day every day not even using it for sign work.

We have a 45' Radocy with a basket and remotes, it is great. Radocy is a great company if you ever need anything from them. I bought it used at a real good price and don't use it all the time. The best thing is I don't have to depend on hiring someone else to do the installs.

I doubt I can hit the water towers with it.
The great thing about Radocy is the company is about an hour and a half north of us. This is a used crane from a one owner shop. The truck has 68000 miles on it. I'm not sure if the crane has an hour meter on it or not. I am flying in with a one way ticket to buy a truck I have never seen. My father thinks I'm crazy.

When you get there call Radocy with the serial number and they will tell you everything about it, is it run by a welder? that has anhour meter on it.
