The panel cradle system features two cradles and comes with hardware, two high density pads and a load-retaining strap. The cradles can either be mounted on the end or the side of the platform. The pads can be easily removed and repositioned to protect the panel. The attachment is also available on select scissor models to lift panels up to 160 pounds. Turn your skid steer into a crane The SkidCrane is a compact, hydraulically controlled skid steer attachment that can be easily transported and can work in confined spaces. The attachment can lift up to 5,000 pounds to heights of more than 40 feet. Designed by a contractor, the unit offers an economical lifting solution, says manufacturer SkidCrane. It extends hydraulically to about 36 feet and another 10 feet with manual pullout extension. Reach up to 12.5 feet Material handling arms from Tobroco-Giant give the company's compact loaders the ability to lift materials and reach up to 12.5 feet. The attachment is also suited for loading, carrying and setting trees and large shrubs in landscap- ing applications. The single multi-angled boom provides increased visibility to the load. Two lift points, one at the end of the boom and one closer to the machine's midpoint, offer increased reach plus load and carry capabilities.
