Steyr Cable Crane - First trials in Scotland

Date Added: 29 March 2007 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1972 Picture No: 126

Circa 1972. This was the first time this crane was worked in Scotland. Please update details as they are uncertain. Possibly Glengarry or Fort Augustus area? Buyers were Ridddochs who had a team trained in Austria?
Locking carriage by Jobu is shown which could also pay out the haul in rope down to chokerman. It was capable of handling about 1 tonnne of timber.

Not Steyr Crane probably James Jones Alp?
