Oh indeed Steve, it is an awesome site to see that 65 Meter - 5 section boom all stretched out, she's a beautiful ship, her and all her 7 axles of chrome.

I'm heading to Las Vegas, February to the "World of Concrete" expo, gotta see the unveiling of the newest weapon on the market the 70 Meter boom, if this 65 meter works out for me, perhaps in the future I will have a 70 meter boom in my fleet.

In this industry, it's all about the size of your stick !

Yes actually all MR's except the 45 and 52 meter booms they are on the Condor Chassis.

I have always run Macks, and have never really had any serious issues with Macks, but decided to try the Condors, and actually only reason was for prompt delivery of the complete units, they were already mounted, tested and good to go, but so far I'm impressed with the Condors aswell.
