FOR PARTS 10 ton capacity Abell Howe port jib crane with cable hoist 90038

UpUp


  For sale is a 10 ton capacity, Abell Howe port jib crane with 
  cable hoist. Yes, you read it right, it has 10 ton capacity. 

  It is currently installed in Waukegan in a marine harbor 
  at a leading recreational boat manufacturer's development 
  lab, that was shut down. It was used for lifting boats 
  out of water and putting them in water. 

  Since it is still standing, I cannot measure it precisely yet. 
  The top horizontal boom is approximately 30 feet long (measured 
  with steps), and my best guess, as to height, is that it is 26 feet 
  under the hook, but that is purely eyeballing.

  I will be taking it down with the aid of a mobile crane in 
  the beginning of July.

  The neighbor of this crane (a barge company) told me that the 
  crane has not been used in a few years. However, almost in the same
  sentence, he expressed interest in buying it from me, so I am 
  not sure if I can believe him or not. I now feel that I 
  cannot avoid mentioning this comment. But, in any case, its 
  top bearing, hoist, electrics and so on, may indeed need work or
  it may not work, and the jib is sold AS IS. It also has some
  amount of rust, as you would expect. It was used on a FRESHWATER
  harbor, though. 

  This jib has power everything: rotation, transverse movement
  and hoisting is all powered (again, none of that is tested). 
  I will try to test it once I take it down and have it in my 
  yard. 
  
  To ship it, will require full truckload freight (FTL) by a 
  flatbed truck. I can also deliver, for additional fee, in the 
  Chicagoland area. 

  It is the buyer's full responsibility to hire a competent 
  engineer to evaluate condition of this crane, conduct all
  necessary repairs, develop proper footing, install it, and
  certify its safety. Otherwise, injury or even death, as well
  as property damage, may result.
