@Whitelinefilms Hey Trucker! I been trying to show off your simple man video and can't get to it..... What did ya do with it?

[heyibuiltthat]

Where was that manufactured?

Glad you asked i'm with it now

Well I built that The rig is a product of many of Barnharts components that can be configured from a hauling rig as see here or made to a tower lifting device

Components were fabricated by myself and other welder / fitters in our fab shop , after 15 years different jobs dimensions of payloads and weights have morphed into what you see today I believe I could honestly claim that I have claim to 95% of it although we are a proud team

@heyibuiltthat Someone said that was made by Toshiba in Japan, was it actually made in Knoxville TN?

the generator ,,made in Japan and barged to k'ville .

the the dolly rig ,,built in Memphis by fine craftsmen as mauh-self and mauh buddies . all modified versions of house moving equipment and extra heavy haul rigs.

light weight / high strength steel and components allow fer a bigger payload .
