What do you consider your biggest accomplishment at Elliott? I have built some of the most complex equipment we produce. I feel that is one heck of an accomplishment.
What is your favorite Elliott product and why?
The 34142 tracks unit, because when I first started building cranes that were the most intimidating unit to me. I was able to work with Engineering on documentation to make the build more streamlined. To put it simply, it’s my favorite unit because there is a lot of me in it.

CLAMSHELL BUCKETS ADD VERSATILITY TO YOUR INVESTMENT
Elliott BoomTruck cranes focus on lifting materials and can be equipped with a variety of options, including clamshell buckets. Clamshell buckets have a variety of uses, including digging holes, loading or unloading materials such as sand, grain, etc., and dredging from water sources.
Safety Reminder
When it comes to safety, being aware of site conditions and surroundings is key. Note obstacles such as power lines, traffic, and ground conditions. Ask yourself:
- Do you need to ask the electric company to de-energize and ground overhead power lines?
- Does passing motor vehicle traffic pose a risk?
- Is the ground able to support the equipment properly (including slope, compaction, and firmness)? Is cribbing necessary?
These are just several considerations to be discussed before starting a project. Ensure your team completes all necessary safety checklists prior to starting each and every job so that nothing is missed.
