Heavy Haulage Australia? Jon Kelly went bust last year some time I believe. Might even be two years ago now.

Trust me to get it the wrong way round. That would be the one, watched the tv series following them.

A lot of those heavy haulage and crane companies go to the wall, they seem to be on the edge all the time.
Joe Kelly, that's a German name .........

A lot of money involved in those cranes though, I was watching a repeat of a programme when visiting mum, about Ainscough crane hire, the figures quoted for cranes would take some getting back

I saw the pics you posted, didn't realise it was one of theirs, has it been recovered

Not sure to be honest. I'm not local to where it happened. Pictures in the press they've been round and taped over the company name all over the crane, so chances are it will be there a bit. Probably require two bigger cranes to lift it out.

A neighbour was at a crane auction, said the bids were going up 10k at a time
