Morning all,

Not quite a landy but we did tow it behind one!

I run a very small company in Aberdeenshire that rents out compact cranes and we had our Klaas Trailer crane stolen from us in Manchester over the weekend. The crane is a trailer unit that you require a landy or similar to tow with and is pretty large (3.49tonnes, 9m long, 2.1m wide and a shade taller than a santana roof)! it was taken from a site in Oldham and is a bit of a head turner.

The crane had www.compact-crane.co.uk and 0845 8720878 written on the boom and flyjib and MacAndrew Milne on the rear.

I have attached a picture or two of the crane and would most grateful if anyone who thinks they may have seen it could let me know.

Thanks everyone

Colin

Moved to International for maximum visibility

Is that a Santana lurking behind the tree in the second picture?

What a smashing bit of kit, Colin!.....I do hope you are able to have it returned quickly and that it`s (hopefully only-temporary) loss doesn`t hurt your business too much.

A PS10..........................



but we'll forgive him

It is a santana, that what we tow the crane with, but if it helps i do drive a 1986 90 which has gone ont he road for the first time last week after being released from Gaydon motor museum. the santana is a good peice of kit but very noisey, uncomfortable and the heating is worse than a land rovers, but it has oodles of power.

thanks everyone

Is there no end to these thieves?
someone must see that around
good luck on its return

it was embarrased to be seen on a Landrover forum and felt the need to hide behind a tree

but, seriously, hope it turns up soon, someone must have seen it around, it is quite unique.
