We have Kitoons, Iris arts and Vicky arts... So I thought it was my turn to have a "display" thread so to speak. I present... MaD at work!

I love my job, so I wanted to share some of the more special assignments I've been on, through my 11 years on the job. The job basically consists of driving out to "customers" and help them with their problems regarding lifting/transportation heavy objects of all shape, sizes and weight.
Not to firm on technical terms in english, but I'll explain as good as I can. I drive what is called a loader crane I believe, it's a crane mounted on a lorry/truck. Started in 1996 and I've had 6 different vehicles through the years. That will explain different looking cranes/trucks (I prefer truck, lorry sounds small

)

First things first... My first crane! Church tower needed a new spike, so who do you call?

Crane number 2! A small ship from 1924 had to be moved to be put back in original shape, I don't have to tell you that the ship was VERY fragile . I managed to get Headline Stealer Badge IRL

Next up! The 3 cranes I drove in Copenhagen. First a quick and simple piccy of "Vogn 24"

In my line of work, accidents DO happen... but this one was a first to me... !noone got injured! It simply snapped!

That was the end of "Martha"

Of I go into the sunset with my own crane as cargo...

This is my current ride "Quasimodo"

On the drawing board is my new ride, which I'll get in December/January... A BIG MOFO. It's gonna be the strongest loader crane in Denmark with regular license plates on. And on top of that, there's a chance it's gonna be A BRAND NEW MODEL!. So I'll be one of the first in DK to drive this beast. Name is ready, I doubt thee "Brutalis"

I'll post a lifting diagram on the sucker when I get around to scanning it... but I can say this, it picks up 2 tons on 30 meters reach. Or 38 tons on 3 meters.

That's all for me, hope you enjoyed the pictures.
