| One of the important steps in Coles development of crane as was the introduction of hydraulics into cranes. Although not developed by Coles this unit came with the acquisition of Taylors Cranes. This was the beginning of the Coles hydraulic crane line. I thought this crane might have been one of the models I could have bee ask to make. But subsequently to making this mode I found out Coles had done a makeover on this unit and that was then badged the Coles Speedcrane. Of the hydraulics that one would have been the model I would have made. (Image right)
