There was a green one of these at the workshop

One of many persons, I drove/used it during my apprenticeship

In fact, it was possibly the only crane in town, callouts to car accidents, farm lifts all over the shire

It was registered with 'Hand' for signals

Worked best with the boom jackknifed around to the front

on bitumen, it could get the bunny hops

slow, hot in summer, cold in winter and wet when it was raining

at manoeuvring speed, without a load, it built up the armstrong muscles

the cran's rams were strong enough to lift the back of the truck off the ground

I was not old enough to have a drivers licence, no one asked either, reflective jackets had not even been thought of
