Hi,

I need a cheap reliable crane to mount on an FH12 tractor unit for loading & unloading shipping containers. All this is a new thing for us so any recommendations, warnings or advice would be gratefully received■■?

Thanks

Paul

Loaded 20ft containers or empty?
If loaded I would go for a Fassi 660 with a 16 meter reach.
If empty then a 435 will do.

Cheap and reliable is an oxymoron.
