No plate seen but looks brand new for film date. By 1966 it had become a Jones Iron Fairy Garnet. |

It's a production Taylor Jumbo Crane. Taylor invented the 360deg. rotary hydraulic coupler now universal on all cranes and excavators . Before this hydraulic cranes and excavators could only swing part way round as they coiled up seperate hoses. -- Last edit: 2018-01-07 09:30:57 |
