Description
Skyhook Crane Boom & Flatbed Truck Bed – Truck-Mounted Crane – Sold Together
Description
Up for auction is a Skyhook truck-mounted crane boom and matching flatbed truck bed, being offered together as one lot.
This equipment was previously mounted on a truck and utilized as a truck-mounted lifting system. The original truck is no longer in service, and the current seller retained the flatbed body and Skyhook crane assembly, which are now being offered together.
The Skyhook crane is designed to be mounted to a properly engineered truck or flatbed chassis and provides a versatile lifting solution for contractors, equipment operators, service companies, construction operations, utility work, agricultural applications and other situations where a truck-mounted lifting boom can eliminate the need for additional lifting equipment.
The unit appears to be a truck-mounted/aerial-style crane boom, with the crane and flatbed being sold together as pictured.
The seller believes the crane is operational, although it has been out of service for an extended period. Buyers should inspect and verify operation, hydraulic function, controls, winch/cable system, structural components and all safety-related equipment prior to bidding.
Equipment Included
One lot includes both:
Skyhook crane boom assembly
Flatbed truck body/deck
Crane mounting components remaining with the unit
Hydraulic components and associated equipment shown in the photographs
Other components shown with the crane/flatbed in the listing photographs
The crane and flatbed are being sold together as one lot.
The original truck/chassis is not included.
Skyhook Crane Information
Skyhook cranes are designed as truck-mounted lifting systems, providing a boom and lifting capability from the bed of a properly equipped truck.
Used Skyhook equipment is commonly found in:
Mounted boom truck applications
Utility and service trucks
Construction support
Equipment installation
Material handling
Roofing and building-material delivery
Agricultural service
Equipment repair/service operations
Industrial maintenance
Specialty hauling and lifting applications
Current used-equipment listings confirm Skyhook equipment is marketed as mounted boom truck cranes, including the Skyhook 65 and SP85 models. One current Skyhook 65 listing identifies a 100-foot reach, while an SP85HD is marketed on a GMC TopKick chassis. These examples demonstrate the range of truck-mounted Skyhook configurations, but those specifications should not be assumed to apply to this particular crane without confirming its model and load chart.
Crane Specifications – Buyer to Verify
Manufacturer: Skyhook
Equipment Type: Truck-Mounted Crane / Boom Crane
Configuration: Truck/flatbed mounted
Boom: Telescoping/boom-style crane configuration
Lifting System: Hydraulic crane system
Mounting: Designed for installation on a suitable truck/flatbed chassis
Flatbed: Included
Crane: Included
Load Capacity: Buyer to verify based on exact model, boom configuration and applicable load chart
Maximum Reach: Buyer to verify
Hydraulic Flow/Pressure: Buyer to verify with specific crane configuration
IMPORTANT: TMJ Auctions has intentionally not stated a specific lifting capacity or maximum reach because the exact Skyhook model and applicable load chart have not been positively identified from the information available. Buyers should inspect the crane for a model/serial plate and independently verify all lifting specifications before putting the crane into service.
Potential Applications
This combination could be an excellent candidate for someone looking to build or replace a truck-mounted service crane.
Potential applications include:
Construction material handling
Equipment loading and unloading
Agricultural equipment service
Farm and ranch applications
Utility work
Industrial maintenance
HVAC equipment handling
Roofing material handling
Steel and fabrication work
Machinery installation
Service truck conversion
Contractor truck
Equipment recovery
Shop/service vehicle
Specialty hauling and lifting
The ability to combine a flatbed with a mounted crane makes this type of equipment particularly useful for contractors and service businesses that routinely need to transport and position heavy components without relying on a separate forklift or mobile crane.
