This custom built freelance truck crane was built by Thomas Kelly using a Kibri 665 Demag truck chassis with a crane body built using a modified Liebherr 883 crawler crane (removed the side flares) with the newer Kibri counterweight for these kits installed. The boom dolly was made using some parts (Wiking, Thomas thinks) he had laying around the workbench. On display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
