jcb ◊ 2014-07-28 16:31	Yes it would require a skilled operator for a 3 jib crane , 1 is bad enough Back to the roller , think it is another one from our American friends under lend lease during the war. A Huber. Rear wheel centres distinctive. https://www.flickr.com/photos/12831473@N00/2151972020/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellis-family-photos/3301574071/ -- Last edit: 2014-07-28 16:35:41

dsl ◊ 2014-07-28 22:21	How about 1942 Huber 8-Ton Road Roller like this UK example - /vehicle_70878-Huber-8-Ton-Road-Roller-1942.html ??
mike962 ◊ 2014-07-28 22:26	dsl wrote I can't help being stupid. don't take it like an insult or something , I just exagerated a bit , so sorry if it looked like an insult you yourself stated this things aren't your area it's is just an optical illusion I can firmly assure you there are no multiple arms lattice boom machines !! -- Last edit: 2014-07-28 22:42:07
