The Octag was the last heavy crane by Coles before it finally ceased trading in 1984. The octagonal shape of the boom coming into more popular use provided better horizontal stress loading than the square section. a design only possible by modern fabrication methods.
Made in two options the ten wheel 70 Ton and the larger Octag 8130, 12 Wheel 130 Ton unit, never seen any photographs of this.
