1998 Ford Boom Truck — Pioneer P2000 17-Ton Crane - NOT CA COMPLIANT

Low-mileage Ford tandem-axle boom truck equipped with a Pioneer P2000 17-ton crane, 70-foot main boom, and 35-foot jib. Approximately 52,000 miles, Cummins 8.3L diesel, and Eaton Fuller manual transmission.

Owned and maintained by a crane company, with maintenance records through 2020 and 90-day inspections performed while in service. Removed from California service due to CARB emissions compliance and stored since.

Features:
• Pioneer P2000 / Series 2000 crane
• 17-ton maximum rated capacity
• 70-foot main boom and 35-foot jib
• 10,000 lb winch line pull, per seller
• Manual-over-hydraulic crane controls
• Wireless anti-two-block system—needs batteries and testing
• Hydraulic outriggers
• Tandem rear axles
• 58,000 lb chassis GVWR
• Wood-deck flatbed and under-bed storage boxes
• Maintenance records available through 2020

Last started and operated approximately 14 months ago; all crane functions worked at that time. One outrigger bleeds down when deployed during operation and requires repair. Last crane inspection was completed in 2020. Tires show age-related cracking.

Buyer should budget for recommissioning, outrigger repair, tire evaluation, and any additional maintenance or repairs needed before inspection and certification. Not currently crane-certified. California CARB noncompliant.

A substantial crane package with low mileage and documented maintenance history, ready for a buyer to service and return to work.
