    The 150 and 180 booms usually do this. Those are heaver and I move them on a 50 ton RGN. It helps a lot being able to fold the jib and basket under the boom , you can put the machine farther back on the deck to axle out .

    I realise that this might seem a daft question for some of you, but what is an RGN please? I realise it is some kind of heavy haulage trailer but much as I try, I can't put words to the initials.

    RGN stands for “Removable Goose Neck”. Another term for that used here in the US is “lowboy”.

    The front detaches for loading.

    Rarely Gets Noticed. That’s why we have to have flags and lights all the time.

    Have you ever noticed that blinking Amber lights make people stupid'er...
    Oh Lord, don't get stuck behind that oversize load. Let's just pull out in front of him.
