    I'm thinking about buying one of these cranes to help load trailer and truck. $1500, $500 to ship it to mid Missouri. There is a couple up around Duluth on Facebook.

    Lift capacity is about one ton at 3.5 meters. No outriggers or hydro power unit. Pretty tempting. What do you all think?

    What am I missing? For $2,000 how is this better than a winch with pulley and block and tackle? For a grand

    I'd be in at that price. Can you send me a link?
    I drew up plans to make one, but that's easier.

    I can't find info on the website. Does the seller give a weight?

    I haven't found that exact model. I have found the 260 specs online. 275kg without outriggers. I believe this model has power lift, extension, and 360 swing.
    Needs about 4 gallons a minute.

    It is more than a cheap HF manual hoist. I started looking for power assistance since I messed up my shoulder and lost strength in my dominant lifting arm.

    Facebook marketplace link.

    Check their profile if it’s a very cheap price. I’ve noticed the scammers will list the same “too good to be true” low priced items multiple times on Marketplace.
