Crane Makes Big Jobs Easy

Crane Makes Big Jobs Easy FARM SHOP Welders/Torches (64) 34-4-37 Not too many welding shops have their own full-sized construction crane. But Royal Weber, who has a crane at his shop in Nokomis, Ill, says you'd love it if you had one. He picked up an old crane for next to nothing because it had a frozen Buda engine. He had a truck that had been hit by a train but still had a good engine. He traded the truck for the crane and kept the engine. He installed it in the crane which now works perfectly, positioned off to the side of the opening to his shop. Weber says it's great for handling very heavy pieces of steel and equipment. The crane pivots 360? so he can pick up steel and other parts from his inventory and move them to the front of the shop where he does his work.
