NMP Ward and Coleman's crane lifting a transformer. I think this crane was built on a EH Mack or Waukesha truck chassis. Look closely and you can see the linesman up the pole.

That crane sure has one long jib. Even shortened down to about halfway, where it appears to telescope, it would have a massive side swing rounding bends on the road. Oh, for the good old days when these types of jiggers were common.

Gotcha Swishy, but that one looks as though it bolts together in 3 sections.

Then 1980 and 2021 from FB Market place. Coleman's sold the F12 Volvo about 1998 to WGE Pt Kembla who kept it until 2021. I believe the odometer reading (889,576) is correct as the Volvo was used mainly on local work.
