Empire Crane Co brought a big-league boom truck to the Albany area with the sale of a Manitex 50128S to Burt Crane and Rigging. Thomas Scheib of Burt Crane worked with Empire Crane’s Chet Zerrillo as he looked to expand his fleet.

The versatility of the 50128S as well as its fast set up proved to be the optimal choice for Burt Crane’s wide-range of projects. With a 50 ton (45 t) capacity at 6 ft. (1.8 m), four section 128 ft. (39 m) proportional boom and two section 32 to 49 ft. (9.7 to 15 m) telescopic jib Burt Crane’s custom painted 50128S is now the largest capacity boom truck in New York State.
