Hi All,
my dad was a crane driver and as a lad in the 70's occasionally on a Saturday I would go to the site with him. I remember he worked for Dawson's sutton coldfield and then stewart plant in scotland. I would get to sit in the cab between his legs (must have between 5 or 6 at the time)I remember to slew the crane there was a lever at each side of the window. can anyone shed any light on the type of crane it might have been? many thanks
type of 1970s crane?

Re: type of 1970s crane?
Hi Patrick welcome to the site what details if any can you give us about your fathers crane? Was it a truck mounted crane, or a multi-axle crane, hydraulic, cable, lattice jib etc? Did he have any old photos that could help out or has anybody on here heard of the above crane/plant company?
