    Nice to see a properly loaded truck for once.
    The Jonsered crane must have had a tough life with those loads.

    well i have never seen something similar.
    technically it is good for some 80-85t, but certainly not for 120.
    as for crane, yes it did.
    our wood is bit heavier, lightest you can find is 600kg/m3, heaviest is black pine 1450kg/m3, of course it depends where it is from, etc.
    we use bit larger cranes than you do. 12mt is considered as a minimum. 15mt is decent choice.
    i have one for january with 30mt crane, it will handle logs up to 7m3. in this cases you need full steel platform so truck end up with less payload than own weight.
