Very nice truck, will they make a model of this in 1:50?

This is a World Power Erkin crane. This is a Turkish manufacturer. To be honest I have never heard of the company before. Their website: http://www.worldpower.com.tr/Martijn

These Cranes are starting to be used in Tree Removal across the US: http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=157592&an=0&page=0#157592

i tend to strongly disagree knowing the danish (truck is from company Skak) and comparing it to similar rigs like Vamdrup of Denmark for example, i am willing to bet that this truck was designed and build for lifting of machinery inside buildings and confined spaces. have a look at some classic example work of a similar rig, mentioned Vamdrup above, lifting windmill blade form inside a hall. http://www.ditzj.de/html/en/trucks/volvo/vstfm480_2750.html

Lieb errr i mean lotsa  I have seen alot of large knuckles with winches. and as far as being the same as a concrete pumper  not really, yeah they are ran by remote but thats about it. We have a Hiab 600-6 and other than being one of the only Hiabs without a reverse knuckle it is extremly versitile. And a little more training than from the dealer is required

i'd agree too,our old workshop had a really low roof,about 14ft,and we had just aquired a 3m press brake,i think it weighted about 5ton,could have been more,a friend with a Carmach knuckleboom lifted it in no problem,any other way and it was a roof off job
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

aside from it being remote which would totally suck in the winter time i would think that would be a great use... probably get a lot of work out of something like that in factories

Boom trucks aint Cranes .... sure? this thing lifts 2 metric tons at 38 meters... go see a AT crane with similar rating as competition... makes already for a nice machine. this truck wasn´t bought to lift pallets of drywall up the first floor. as for indoor machinery moving... what forklift has the reach and moveability of this thing, what carry deck can lift over edges like this... dont worry, every machine has its place and its use, but this truck, as special as it is clearly was destined for some specific jobs. now it might be a "boom truck by definition", but remind yourself the machine on its back is so big the whole rig needs a 5 axle truck chassis without any payload left for it...

It has its place .. Christian ..You know enough about cranes to know ..if they were any good on the whole ..crane rental and leasing firms would have more of these on the roster..There's a reason they are not there .. The lil Hiab I ran for a stint ..hey was slick ..but a complete pain in the butt trying to get any reasonable rigging arrangement going ,,not to mention working in arc's ,slow as hell ,scope in scope out ,,scope in scope out ..drive a man nuts ....and then ..pick it up and go ..a guy becomes more of a truck driver than an operator, Only nice thing about these ..as with any boom truck ..20 minutes after the pack it up signal come ..your trucking down the road going home .. And that's about the only nice thing I can think of..

And a little more training than from the dealer is required depends on the province my man ..My brother got his in an afternoon ..for a 70-80 foot dry wall truck ....I spent another afternoon going over limits of approach and gradients, dunnage and the use of,SWL of shackles,slings and how to inspect them ..and the programmed my company cell in his phone ..just in case .. I'll say this for my brother ..He listened ..a new guy took his old truck(same course) and electrocuted his ground-man a few weeks later .... I wouldnt kid about that ..
