Pettibone Crane Model 30 Manual Or
I don't know if I should post this the construction equipment area or not, but I figured that somebody has done this before on TBN and the rural area is a good place to start asking questions. I'm thinking about playing legos with containers on my new parcel, but one of the big issues I have is the ability to move and lift containers without paying through the nose for rentals and this work is in the context that I'm on a DIY budget and that I'm a bit disabled and cannot just plow through days without taking back breaks. Anyway, there is a Pettibone MK30 AWD crane with all wheel steer and a 60' reach for sale a couple of hundred miles away and I'm wondering if anybody has experience with this piece of equipment. I'm considering purchasing the crane, using it for my container projects and then selling it again when I'm done. Does anybody have experience with this piece of equipment or cranes in general (or building with containers for that matter) and be offer advice on what to look for or avoid? Eric a fun toy is one thing I'll never talk a guy out of justifying for himself, but unless their almost giving them away.

Look at getting in & out of that thing, not for a guy with back issues. Also, pretty sure it's not meant to carry and drive with much more than a ton or so, the cab does not swing with the boom so with some pretty crappy looking visibility from down in that hole they call a cab, you'll need a helper. I'd find an older truck crane, that is what I know as a med.
Duty truck with about a 20' flat bed with a stick & outriggers mounted just behind the cab. Most of them will be an easy 15 ton and you can operate them standing on the ground next to it, usually from either side.
A long time ago we were considering putting in a pond and I considered buying a used dragline, digging the pond, then selling it. A family member of ours owns a construction company and he has several cranes in several sizes. He specializes in bridges and retaining walls. I asked him about used cranes. He said you can get burned very easily if you don't know anything about them, and end up putting way more money into them in parts and labor than if you'd have just hired the job out. $$$$$ Purchase $$$$ Transportation to your place $$$$$ Anything breaks parts and labor When you're done with it, you hope you can find a buyer.
Really, really consider it before you do it. Then, look back at your past tractoring experiences. You've had some problems, no? You have NO experience with a crane. Overhead lifting is very non-forgiving.

One mistake and you or your sister are flat as a pancake. There are hundreds and hundreds of crane fail videos on youtube. Granted, most of them are in 3rd world countries, but you're in Minn. So what's the diff?
Just think it over good and hard first.
