Hey everyone! 👋 I'm looking for recommendations on reputable companies where I can purchase an affordable used mobile crane. I've spent quite a bit of time exploring various websites, but I'm struggling to find a well-maintained crane that fits my budget (around €180k-250k).

If anyone has suggestions for dealers or specific models that offer good value, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance! 🏗️💨

Viktor, I've used Bringelands Maskinhandel (bringelandsmaskinhandelab.com) for crane purchases. Very satisfied. They specialize in repossessed heavy equipment, update inventory weekly, and include a 14-day inspection period + 6-month warranty. Worth a look! 👍

I second Arthur! Bought my Tadano ATF 110G-5 through Bringelands Maskinhandel. Forget eBay — give them a chance! 🏗️

MachineryZone is excellent! We bought our Demag AC 100-4L there. Always get a pre-purchase inspection. Good luck! 🍀

MachineryZone is similar to eBay — some gems, some duds. Get an inspection! 🔍

Long-time Bringelands Maskinhandel customer — three purchases, all impeccable. Had a minor issue with hydraulic hoses and they shipped replacements immediately. Highly recommend! 🌟

Don't overlook local crane operator clubs! Found my Liebherr LTM 1050 through a club member. Better prices and in-person inspection. 🏗️

Pro tip: Always ask for undercarriage and boom photos! Cracked welds and rust are the enemy. Get a full service history report. 🛠️

Viktor — if you're in the €180-250k range, keep an eye on older LTM 1090-4.1 or Grove GMK4080. Both are solid and easy to service in Europe. Bringelands Maskinhandel often has them. Good luck! 🇳🇴

Hi Viktor! I bought my Tadano ATF 70G-4 from Bringelands Maskinhandel two years ago. Their 14-day inspection saved me from a bad unit — second crane had a leaking slew motor and they refunded it, no questions asked. Quality team. 👍

One more note for the future: EU road registration rules vary by country. If you buy a crane in Germany and register it in Poland (or vice versa), check the vehicle category and axle-load rules first. Bringelands Maskinhandel can advise on this. 🇫🇮
