Mon morning and as promised a few pics of our tracked bucket.
Think its made for you guys as the cab is on the "wrong " side :)
Aas I said it goes up 15 foot from the base. In total around 18ft reach from the ground.

That's certainly a nice looking toy. Do the outriggers/stabilisers/jacks extend out under pneumatic control from the base?

No clive. The rams are angled "see pic". So the further they go down the more spread.(Area)

Ah, neat. But it doesn't look like they go out too far from the chassis even if extended to the point the caterpillar tracks are off the ground. Then again, I suppose it's no worse than the typical van-mount bucket truck.

I have had the opportunity to work out of track machines as well. I worked on one small single bucket that was very very stable , the outriggers seemed to be a great decoration.

That's really a pretty cool machine Bren!

I can see where that would be a real asset in the type of area you're workin in. H$ll man that's 52.49 Feet!!:cool: Pretty da$n respectable height for a machine like that.

Never worked with an outfit that used a machine like that. Havin worked mostly Distribution all my life, Our back Lot machines were mostly used for settin poles, and hangin Transformers. AND, they could set a 50 Ft. Pole, when Manually hauled...with wheels, thru a 4.5 ft wide chain link fence Gate. The machine was designed to the width of the standard chain link gate, here in 'merica. Once ya got it inplace, ya fire it up, and it's all Hydraulic. It was a "godsend" in alot of Backlot jobs.....

But THAT machine of yours....Is COOL Dude.:cool:
