[TheForge] Re: bridge crane

[Justin Fellenz]

Chris,

I've seen cranes come up here and there on the equipment lists. I can't
recall which ones at the moment, but if you google machinery dealers
and get on their mailing lists, you'll find one. I am or was on Mohawk
Machinery, Perfection Machinery, Midwest Machinery, Machineco,
Equipment Resale, and some others. Some odd ducks out there on the
other end of the phone as I'm sure you've experienced if you've dealt
with machinery dealers. They're pretty much all in the rust belt, of
course, and the cranes are almost always hugely expensive to buy and
worse to move, but there you go.
