Hydrocon cranes

[mark2020]

Hi I have an 8 tonne Hydrocon Crane - see photo. I have more photos but only letting me upload one

Many (many, many!) years ago I worked for a firm who operated Hydrocons. They were, I think, mostly based around Albion/Leyland running gear with LAD cabs.

Hopefully you were lucky enough not to drive one, i had to , the actual crane part was good, the albion underneath it was woeful, about 120 hp to drag along 20 tonne, with only a 5 speed plus splitter box. Got a good price when i sold it mind.

This one I saw two years back at a Boatyard at Port Bannatyne on the Isle of Bute, I was there two weeks ago and couldn’t see it.

This one I saw at Arbroath,(Angus) Harbour recently.

Hope these photos are of interest.
