    I have Palfinger , Hiab , Bonfiglioli and Pesci cranes.
    I rate the Hiab and Pesci best.

    dont know for pesci and never see one

    bonfiglioli saw only once


    i am absolutely shocked about pm cranes

    effer seems to be decent choice but it is heavy

    fassi is quite light but it is rare here

    in my country far best choice is palfinger easy to get parts it is light and lot of workshops can work with it

    hiab is second best choice here

    3rd is maybe atlas for smaller cranes on 2axle tippers and for L cranes for brick trucks and similar

    They are good for rigging P Boom and can take a lot of abuse.Expensive aswell.
    They lift very well and are cheap but don't last as long as some.
    There are a few here but I cant say as I don't know
    The newest Effer I have seen is here is 20 years old.Plenty of old ones still working here.
    First cranes I had were Fassi , they were good.
    Very popular here ,they are prone to cracks if they are abused.
    They are a bit better than Palfinger IMO but heavier and more expensive.
    I don't think you can get Atlas any more.They were very good , Terex bought them out and now calls them Terex here.
